Counts rhyme schemes.

Row sums of triangle A137596 starting with offset 1. - Gary W. Adamson, Jan 29 2008

With offset 1 = binomial transform of the Bell numbers, A000110 starting (1, 1, 1, 2, 5, 15, 52, 203,...). [Gary W. Adamson, Dec 04 2008]

a(n) is the number of partitions of the set {1,2,...,n} in which n is either a singleton or it is in a block of consecutive integers. Example: a(3)=4 because we have 123, 1-23, 12-3, and 1-2-3. Deleting the blocks containing n=3, we obtain: empty, 1, 12, 1-2, i.e. all the partitions of the sets: empty, {1}, and {1,2}. [Emeric Deutsch, May 01 2010]

FORMULA

a(0) = 0; for n >= 0, a(n+1) = 1 + Sum_{j=1..n} (C(n, j)-C(n, j+1))*a(j).

Sum_{i=1..n} Bell(i) = 1 + C(n, 2) + 2*C(n-3, 1) + 8*C(n-4, 1) + C(n-3, 2) + 22*C(n-5, 1) + 13*C(n-4, 2) + 52*C(n-6, 1) + 74*C(n-5, 2) + 10*C(n-4, 3) + 114*C(n-7, 1) + 314*C(n-6, 2) + 134*C(n-5, 3) + 3*C(n-4, 4) + 240*C(n-8, 1) + 1155*C(n-7, 2) + 1024*C(n-6, 3) + 134*C(n-5, 4) + 494*C(n-9, 1) + ..... . - Andre F.
