FORMULA
The generating function given by Comtet and Fiolet is incorrect.
a(n) = coefficient of t^n*u^(n-1) in Product_{i,j>=0,(i,j)<>(0,1)} (1 - t^i*u^(i+j-1))^(-1). - Tom Wilde (tom(AT)beech84.fsnet.co.uk), Jan 19 2008
EXAMPLE
(d/dx)^2 y = -F_xx/F_y + 2*F_x*F_xy/F_y^2 - F_x^2*F_yy/F_y^3, where F_x denotes partial derivative with respect to x, etc. This has three terms, thus a(2)=3.
