Problem 6E

a) Find a recurrence relation for the number of strictly increasing sequences of positive integers that have 1 as their first term and n as their last term, where n is a positive integer. That is, sequences a1, a2,.... ak, where a1 = 1. ak = n, and aj < aj+1 for j = 1, 2, ..., k – 1.

b)  What are the initial conditions?

c)  How many sequences of the type described in (a) are there when n is an integer with n ≥ 2?
