We compute the numbers g(n,2,2) of nilpotent groups of order n, of class at most 2 generated by at most 2 generators, by giving an explicit formula for the Dirichlet generating function ∑n=1∞g(n,2,2)n−s.

On calcule les nombres g(n,2,2) de groupes nilpotents d'ordre n, de classe au plus 2, engendrés par au plus 2 générateurs, en donnant une formule explicite pour la fonction génératrice de Dirichlet ∑n=1∞g(n,2,2)n−s.
