COMMENTS

Number of partitions of n+3 with at least one singleton and with the smallest element in a singleton equal to 3. Alternatively, number of partitions of n+3 with at least one singleton and with the largest element in a singleton equal to n+1. - Olivier GERARD, Oct 29 2007

Out of the A005493(n) set partitions with a specific two elements clustered separately, number that have a different set of two elements clustered separately. - Andrey Goder (andy.goder(AT)gmail.com), Dec 17 2007

FORMULA

a(n) = A005493(n)-A005493(n-1).

E.g.f.: exp(exp(x)-1)*(exp(2*x)-exp(x)+1). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Feb 11 2003

a(n) = A000110(n) - 2*A000110(n-1) + A000110(n-2). - Andrey Goder (andy.goder(AT)gmail.com), Dec 17 2007

MAPLE

a:= n-> add ((-1)^k *binomial(2, k) *combinat['bell'](n+k), k=0..2): seq (a(n), n=0..20); # Alois P. Heinz, Sep 05 2008
