May 1, 2018 at 18:07 comment added Siddhartha @Darij : I was trying to estimate some error term of some characteristic coefficients of a Taylor series which come from lower bound on largest eigenvalues of a symmetric matrix (due to Walker and Mieghem, 2008). This sum appeared as in each of the error terms of inverse of exponential map combined with power matrices.

May 1, 2018 at 7:35 comment added darij grinberg The safest approach I see, by the way, is to rewrite $M\left(n+j,j;2\right)$ in terms of Stirling numbers using inclusion-exclusion.
May 1, 2018 at 7:32 comment added darij grinberg By the way, where does the problem come from?
May 1, 2018 at 7:29 comment added Per Alexandersson I would really like an inclusion-exlcusion-style argument for this. Perhaps multiplying both sides with n! makes it easier? Also, what is the j=1-term? Is it 0?
May 1, 2018 at 7:28 comment added darij grinberg Note: $\dfrac{M\left(n+j,j;2\right)}{j!}$ is the number of set partitions of the set $\left\{1,2,\ldots,n+j\right\}$ into $j$ subsets, each of which has at least $2$ elements. Not saying that this helps, but it might be a first step.
