FORMULA

sum(2^k*stirling2(n, k), k=1..n). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Oct 20 2001

a(n) = exp(-2)*sum(k>=1, 2^k*k^n/k! ) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Sep 25 2003

G.f. satisfies 2*(x/(1-x))*A(x/(1-x)) = A(x) - 1; twice the binomial transform equals the sequence shifted one place left. - Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Dec 08 2003

With exact integer arithmetic (no infinite exp-sum needed): PE=exp(matpascal(5)-matid(6)); A = PE^2; a(n)=A[n,1]. - Gottfried Helms (helms(AT)uni-kassel.de), Apr 08 2007

G.f.: 1/(1-2x-2x^2/(1-3x-4x^2/(1-4x-6x^2/(1-5x-8x^2/(1-6x-10x^2/(1-... (continued fraction). [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Apr 29 2009]

O.g.f.: Sum_{n>=0} 2^n*x^n / Product_{k=1..n} (1-k*x). [From Paul D. Hanna, Feb 15 2012]
