FORMULA

E.g.f.: sum(k>=0, 1/(1-x) - exp(sum(j=1..k, x^j/j )) ).

a(n) = f(n,0,n,n!) where f(l,r,n,m) = m*r if r >= l, otherwise sum(f(k,max(l-k,r),n-1,m/n) for k=0 to l-1) + (n-l)*f(l,r,n-1,m/n). [Thomas Dybdahl Ahle, Aug 15 2011]

MATHEMATICA

kmax = 19; gf[x_] = Sum[ 1/(1-x) - 1/(E^((x^(1+k)*Hypergeometric2F1[1+k, 1, 2+k, x])/ (1+k))*(1-x)), {k, 0, kmax}];

a[n_] := n!*Coefficient[Series[gf[x], {x, 0, kmax}], x^n]; Array[a, kmax]
