Abstract:

We give special values of Bell polynomials by using the power series solution of the equation y(k) = eay. In addition, we define complete and partial exponential autonomous functions, exponential autonomous polynomials, autonomous polynomials, and (k, a)-autonomous coefficients. Finally, we demonstrate the relationship between various numbers counting combinatorial objects and binomial coefficients, Stirling numbers of the second kind, and autonomous coefficients.
