COMMENTS

Number of acyclic-function digraphs on n vertices. An acyclic-function digraph is a labeled digraph which (i) has no cycles and no loops, (ii) has outdegree 0 or 1 for all vertices and (iii) has x > y when vertex x has outdegree 0 and vertex y has outdegree 1.

This sequence is the sum of antidiagonals of A058127.

FORMULA

a(n) = sum(k=1, n, k*n^(n-k-1)) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Sep 28 2002

EXAMPLE

a(3)=6 since the acyclic-function digraphs on 3 vertices are: {(1), (2), (3)} {(1,2), (3)} {(1,3), (2)} {(1,2), (2,3)} {(1,3), (2,3)} {(2,1), (1,3)} where (x) denotes a vertex of degree 0 and (x,y) denotes the subgraph consisting of vertices x and y and the arc from x to y.
