FORMULA

a(n)=n*(n-1)^(n-2), n>1. E.g.f.: -x*LambertW(-x). - Vladeta Jovovic, Mar 31 2001

a(n) = sum{k=1 to n} (A055314(n, k)*k).

E.g.f.: x*T(x) where T(x) is the e.g.f. for A000169. - Geoffrey Critzer, Feb 07 2012

MATHEMATICA

Join[{0, 2}, Table[Sum[n!/k! StirlingS2[n-2, n-k] k, {k, 2, n-1}], {n, 3, 20}]] (* Geoffrey Critzer, Nov 22 2011 *)
