The same problem was solved in another thread, a few weeks ago. Also look up CatalanNumber in Help; it counts the number of these partitions. http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&frame=right&th=ff1de8017f9f5222&seekm=c38uvb%24g39%241%40smc.vnet.net#link2 wolf[{arg_}, op_] := {arg} wolf[{args__}, op_] := Flatten[ReplaceList[{args}, {a__, b__} :> Outer[ op, wolf[{a}, op], wolf[{b}, op], 1]], 2] wolf[Array[1 &, 5], CenterDot] Displaying with Plus is a bit tricky: stringIt[a_, b_] := "(" <> ToString[a] <> "+" <> ToString[b] <> ")" List @@ (2 @@ wolf[Array[1 &, 5], List] /.
