Abstract

By establishing an interesting connection between ordinary Bell polynomials and rational convolution powers, some composition and inverse relations of Bell polynomials as well as explicit expressions for convolution roots of sequences are obtained. Based on these results, a new method is proposed for calculation of partial Bell polynomials based on prime factorization. It is shown that this method is more efficient than the conventional recurrence procedure for computing Bell polynomials in most cases, requiring far less arithmetic operations. A detailed analysis of the computation complexity is provided, followed by some numerical evaluations.
