FORMULA

G.f.: B(x)^3 where B(x) is g.f. of A000081.

MAPLE

b:= proc(n) option remember; if n<=1 then n else add(k*b(k)* s(n-1, k), k=1..n-1)/(n-1) fi end: s:= proc(n, k) option remember; add(b(n+1-j*k), j=1..iquo(n, k)) end: B:= proc(n) option remember; add (b(k)*x^k, k=1..n) end: a:= n-> coeff (series (B(n-2)^3, x=0, n+1), x, n): seq (a(n), n=3..29); [From Alois P. Heinz (heinz(AT)hs-heilbronn.de), Aug 21 2008]

MATHEMATICA
