A combinatorial generalization of the Stirling Numbers of the second kind is presented as the number of partitions of a set with n elements in m subsets with at least c elements each. An equivalence with a previous definition is discussed. Combinatorial properties and a recursive relation are obtained. The generating function is obtained as the m-th power of a truncated exponential series expansion at c. Other applications are also discussed.
| citations This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 5 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
