COMMENTS
Total number of leaves in all labeled rooted trees with n nodes.
Number of endofunctions of [n] such that no element of [n-1] is fixed. E.g., a(3)=12: 123 -> 331, 332, 333, 311, 312, 313, 231, 232, 233, 211, 212, 213.
Number of functions f: {1, 2, ..., n} --> {1, 2, ..., n} such that f(1) != f(2), f(2) != f(3), ..., f(n-1) != f(n). - Warut Roonguthai, May 06 2006
Determinant of the n X n matrix ((2n, n^2, 0, ..., 0), (1, 2n, n^2, 0, ..., 0), (0, 1, 2n, n^2, 0, ..., 0), ..., (0, ..., 0, 1, 2n)). - Michel Lagneau, May 04 2010
For n > 1: a(n) = A240993(n-1) / A240993(n-2). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Aug 31 2014
Total number of points m such that f^(-1)(m) = {m}, (i.e., the preimage of m is the singleton set {m}) summed over all functions f:[n]->[n]. - Geoffrey Critzer, Jan 20 2022

FORMULA
E.g.f.: x/(1-T), where T=T(x) is Euler's tree function (see A000169).
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} A055302(n, k)*k.
a(n) = the n-th term of the (n-1)-th binomial transform of {1, 1, 4, 18, 96, ..., (n-1)*(n-1)!, ...} (cf. A001563). - Paul D. Hanna, Nov 17 2003
a(n) = (n-1)^(n-1) + Sum_{i=2..n} (n-1)^(n-i)*binomial(n-1, i-1)*(i-1) *(i-1)!. - Paul D. Hanna, Nov 17 2003
a(n) = [x^(n-1)] 1/(1 - (n-1)*x)^2. - Paul D. Hanna, Dec 27 2012
a(n) ~ exp(-1) * n^n. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 14 2014
