COMMENTS

If we eliminate the first term and set a(0)=3, then a(0)..a(12) = (-1)^(n+1)*n!*(2*H(n)-3)..where H(n) is the n'th harmonic number [From Gary Detlefs (gdetlefs(AT)aol.com), Feb 13 2010]

FORMULA

E.g.f.: ((1+x)*ln(1+x))^2/2. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Feb 20 2003

a(n)=sum(i=1, n-1, i^2*Stirling1(n-1, i)) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Oct 23 2004

If we define f(n,i,a)=sum(binomial(n,k)*stirling1(n-k,i)*product(-a-j,j=0..k-1),k=0..n-i), then a(n) = f(n,2,-2), for n>=2. [From Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Dec 21 2008]

MAPLE

with(combinat): for n from 2 to 40 do for k from 2 to 2 do printf(`%d, `, sum(binomial(l, k)*k^(l-k)*stirling1(n, l), l=k..n)) od: od:
