Permutahedra Euler characteristic polynomials from cumulant-moment relation, a combinatorial proof?
Given the formal Taylor series, or e.g.f.,
$f(x) = 1 + \sum_{n \geq 1} m_n \; \frac{x^n}{n!}$,
the classical formal cumulants $c_n$ are generated from the formal moments $m_n$ via
$ \sum_{n \geq 1} ...
