a(n-1), for n>=1, is the number of length-n restricted growth strings (RGS) [s(0),s(1),...,s(n-1)] where s(0)=0 and s(k)<=1+max(prefix) for k>=1, that are simultaneously projections as maps f: [n] -> [n] where f(x)<=x and f(f(x))=f(x); see example and the two comments (Arndt, Apr 30 2011 Jan 04 2013) in A000110. - Joerg Arndt, Mar 07 2015
Number of finite sequences s of length n+1 whose discriminator sequence is s itself. Here the discriminator sequence of s is the one where the n-th term (n>=1) is the least positive integer k such that the first n terms are pairwise incongruent, modulo k. - Jeffrey Shallit, May 17 2016
From Gus Wiseman, Jan 08 2019: (Start)
Also the number of set partitions of {1,...,n+1} whose minima form an initial interval of positive integers. For example, the a(3) = 9 set partitions are:
{{1},{2},{3},{4}}
{{1},{2},{3,4}}
{{1},{2,4},{3}}
{{1,4},{2},{3}}
{{1},{2,3,4}}
{{1,3},{2,4}}
{{1,4},{2,3}}
{{1,3,4},{2}}
{{1,2,3,4}}
Missing from this list are:
{{1},{2,3},{4}}
{{1,2},{3},{4}}
{{1,3},{2},{4}}
{{1,2},{3,4}}
{{1,2,3},{4}}
{{1,2,4},{3}}

a(n) is the number of m-tuples of nonnegative integers less than or equal to n-m (including the "0-tuple"). - Mathew Englander, Apr 11 2021

FORMULA
a(n) = A003101(n) + 1.
G.f.: Sum_{n>=0} x^n/(1 - (n+1)*x). - Paul D. Hanna, Sep 13 2011
G.f.: G(0) where G(k) = 1 + x*(2*k*x-1)/((2*k*x+x-1) - x*(2*k*x+x-1)^2/(x*(2*k*x+x-1) + (2*k*x+2*x-1)/G(k+1) )); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jan 26 2013
E.g.f.: Sum_{n>=0} Integral^n exp((n+1)*x) dx^n, where Integral^n F(x) dx^n is the n-th integration of F(x) with no constant of integration. - Paul D. Hanna, Dec 28 2013
O.g.f.: Sum_{n>=0} n! * x^n/(1-x)^(n+1) / Product_{k=1..n} (1 + k*x). - Paul D. Hanna, Jul 20 2014
a(n) = A101494(n+1,0). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Apr 01 2015
a(n-1) = Sum_{k = 1..n} k^(n-k). - Gus Wiseman, Jan 08 2019
log(a(n)) ~ (1 - 1/LambertW(exp(1)*n)) * n * log(1 + n/LambertW(exp(1)*n)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 15 2021
a(n) ~ sqrt(2*Pi/(n+1 + (n+1)/w(n))) * ((n+1)/w(n))^(n+2 - (n+1)/w(n)), where w(n) = LambertW(exp(1)*(n+1)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 25 2021, after user "leonbloy", see Mathematics Stack Exchange link.
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + 2*x + 4*x^2 + 9*x^3 + 23*x^4 + 66*x^5 + 210*x^6 + ...
where we have the identity:
A(x) = 1/(1-x) + x/(1-2*x) + x^2/(1-3*x) + x^3/(1-4*x) + x^4/(1-5*x) + ...
is equal to
A(x) = 1/(1-x) + x/((1-x)^2*(1+x)) + 2!*x^2/((1-x)^3*(1+x)*(1+2*x)) + 3!*x^3/((1-x)^4*(1+x)*(1+2*x)*(1+3*x)) + 4!*x^4/((1-x)^5*(1+x)*(1+2*x)*(1+3*x)*(1+4*x)) + ...
