This counting has connections with familiar integer sequence called ordered Bell numbers. Furthermore, a recurrence relation and generating function was derived for counting DFS of D2n.enDihedral groupEquivalence relationFuzzy subgroupBell NumberGenerating functionCombinatorics of counting distinct fuzzy subgroups of certain dihedral groupArticle
