%N INVERT transform of factorial numbers.

%C a(n) = Sum[ a1!a2!...ak! ] where (a1,a2,...,ak) ranges over all compositions of n. a(n) = number of trees on [0,n] rooted at 0, consisting entirely of filaments and such that the non-root labels on each filament, when arranged in order, form an interval of integers. A filament is a maximal path (directed away from the root) whose interior vertices all have outdegree 1 and which terminates at a leaf. For example with n=3, a(n) = 11 counts all n^(n-2) = 16 trees on [0,3] except the 3 trees {0->1, 1->2, 1->3}, {0->2, 2->1, 2->3}, {0->3, 3->1, 3->2} (they fail the all-filaments test) and the 2 trees {0->2, 0->3, 3->1}, {0->2, 0->1, 1->3} (they fail the interval-of-integers test). - _David Callan_, Oct 24 2004

%C a(n) is the number of lists of "unlabeled" permutations whose total length is n. "Unlabeled" means each permutation is on an initial segment of the positive integers (cf. A090238). Example: with dashes separating permutations, a(3) = 11 counts 123, 132, 213, 231, 312, 321, 1-12, 1-21, 12-1, 21-1, 1-1-1. - _David Callan_, Sep 20 2007

%C Number of compositions of n where there are k! sorts of part k. - _Joerg Arndt_, Aug 04 2014

%F From _Gary W. Adamson_, Sep 26 2011: (Start)

%F a(n) is the upper left term of M^n, M = an infinite square production matrix as follows:

%F 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...

%F 2, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, ...

%F 3, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, ...

%F 4, 0, 0, 0, 4, 0, ...

%F 5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 5, ...

%F ... (End)

%F G.f.: 1 + x/(G(0) - 2*x) where G(k) = 1 + (k+1)*x - x*(k+2)/G(k+1); (recursively defined continued fraction). - _Sergei N. Gladkovskii_, Dec 26 2012

%F a(n) ~ n! * (1 + 2/n + 7/n^2 + 35/n^3 + 216/n^4 + 1575/n^5 + 13243/n^6 + 126508/n^7 + 1359437/n^8 + 16312915/n^9 + 217277446/n^10), for coefficients see A260530. - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Jul 28 2015

%F From _Peter Bala_, May 26 2017: (Start)

%F G.f. as an S-fraction: A(x) = 1/(1 - x/(1 - 2*x/(1 - x/(1 - 3*x/(1 - 2*x/(1 - 4*x/(1 - 3*x/(1 - n*x/(1 - (n - 1)*x/(1 - ...)))))))))). Cf. S-fraction for the o.g.f. of A000142.

%F A(x) = 1/(1 - x/(1 - x - x/(1 - 2*x/(1 - 2*x/(1 - 3*x/(1 - 3*x/(1 - 4*x/(1 - 4*x/(1 - ... ))))))))). (End)

%e a(4) = 47 = 1*24 + 1*6 + 3*2 + 11*1.

%e a(4) = 47, the upper left term of M^4.
