FORMULA

E.g.f. (with offset 1): log(1-x)*(log(1-x)-1). [From Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Nov 19 2009]

a(0)=1, a(n+1)=(n+1)*a(n)+2*n!, n>0. [From Sean A. Irvine, Jun 14 2011]

MAPLE

a := proc(n) option remember: if(n=0)then return 1: fi: return n*a(n-1)+2*(n-1)!: end: seq(a(n), n=0..21); # Nathaniel Johnston, Jun 14 2011

MATHEMATICA
