FORMULA

a(n)=n*n!^2-Sum k!^2*a(n-k), k=1..n-1.

L.g.f.: Sum_{n>=1} a(n)*x^n/n = log( Sum_{n>=1} (n-1)!^2*x^n ). [From Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Apr 13 2009]

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := a[n] = n*n!^2 - Sum [k!^2*a[n-k], {k, 1, n-1}]; Table[ a[n], {n, 1, 14}] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Dec 13 2011, after formula *)

PROG

(PARI) {a(n)=n*polcoeff(log(sum(k=0, n, k!^2*x^k)+x*O(x^n)), n)} [From Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Apr 13 2009]
