FORMULA

a(n) = (Bell(n)-3*Bell(n+1)+Bell(n+2))/2. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Aug 07 2006

a(n+2) = A123158(n,4) . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Oct 06 2006

a(n) = sum {k = 1..n} binomial(k,2)*Stirling2(n,k). a(n) = 1/(2*exp(1))*sum {k>=0} k^n*(k^2-3*k+1)/k!. Note that k^2-3*k+1 = k*(k-1)-2*k+1 is an example of a Poisson-Charlier polynomial. a(n) = D^n(x^2/2!*exp(x)) evaluated at x = 0, where D is the operator (1+x)*d/dx. Cf. A005493. E.g.f.: 1/2*exp(exp(x)-1))*(exp(x)-1)^2 = x^2/2!+6*x^3/3!+31*x^4/4!+.... O.g.f.: sum {k>=0} binomial(k,2)*x^k/product {i=1..k} (1-i*x) = x^2+6*x^3+31*x^4+.... - Peter Bala, Nov 28 2011
