Basic enumeration of graph compositions with a restricted number of components

Combinatorics 2016-02-23 v1

Abstract

The concept of graph compositions is related to several number theoretic concepts, including partitions of positive integers and the cardinality of the power set of finite sets. This paper examines graph compositions where the total number of components is restricted and illustrates a connection between graph compositions and Stirling numbers of the second kind.
