Partitions of the vertices into independent blocks are the unlabeled colour-class partitions counted by the Graphical Stirling number. Therefore
χPn​​(x)=∑k​{nk​}Pn​​xk​.
(1)
Since χPn​​(x)=x(x−1)n−1, the ordinary Stirling identity applied to x−1 gives
x(x−1)n−1=∑k​{n−1k−1​}xk​.
(2)
Uniqueness in the falling-factorial basis proves the claim.
