COMMENTS

a(n) is the number of order-preserving partial self maps of {1,...,n}. E.g. A002003 a(2)=8 because there are 8 order-preserving partial self maps of {1,2}: (1 2), (1 1), (2 2), (1 -), (2 -), (- 1), (- 2), (- -). Here for example (2 -) represents the partial map which maps 1 to 2 but does not include 2 in its domain. - James East (jameseastseq(AT)hotmail.com), Oct 25 2005
