a(n) = A126890(n,3) for n>2. - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Dec 30 2006

If X is an n-set and Y a fixed (n-4)-subset of X then a(n-3) is equal to the number of 2-subsets of X intersecting Y. - Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Aug 15 2007

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,n-1,4), for n>=1. [From Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Dec 20 2008]
