COMMENTS

a(n) is (-1)^n times the numerator of the "reverse" multiple zeta value zeta_n^R(0,0,...,0) for n>0. - Jonathan Sondow, Nov 29 2006

a(n) = T191578(2*n,n)/(2*n)!, n>0. [Vladimir Kruchinin, Feb 02 2013]

FORMULA

G.f.: -x/((1-x)*ln(1-x)).

(From Rudi Huysmans, rudi_huysmans(AT)hotmail.com) Let K_i = A002208(i)/A002209(i), with K_1=1/2; K_2=-5/12; ... and [i n] = Stirling numbers of the first kind (e.g.[4 2] = 11), {i n} = Stirling numbers of the second kind (e.g. {4 2}=7) and B_i the Bernoulli numbers. Then K_i =((-1)^i / (i-1)! ).Sum_n=1..i [i n].B_n/n and B_i = i.(-1)^i. Sum_n=1..i {i n}.(n-1)!.K_n.

a(n) = numerator((-1)^n*sum(k=0..n, (k!*stirling2(n,k)* stirling1(n+k,n))/(n+k)!)).  [Vladimir Kruchinin, Feb 02 2013]
