Number of partitions of {1, 2, ..., n+1} in which at least one block of each partition contains a pair of nonconsecutive integers. E.g., B(4)-2^3 = 7: there are 7 partitions of {1,2,3,4} in which some block contains a pair of nonconsecutive integers, namely 124/3, 134/2, 14/23, 13/24, 13/2/4, 14/2/3, 1/24/3. - Augustine O. Munagi, Mar 20 2005
Number of complementing systems of subsets of {0, 1, ..., p^(n+1) - 1} (p a prime) in which at least one member is not of the form {0, x, 2x, ..., (c-1)x} for positive integers x and c. E.g., B(4)-p^3 = 7: there are 7 complementing systems of subsets of {0, 1, ..., p^4-1} in which at least one member is not of the form {0, x, 2x, ..., (c-1)*x}. Number of complementing systems of subsets of {0, 1, ..., p^4 - 1} reduces to B(4) and number of ordered factorizations of p^4 is p^3. - Augustine O. Munagi, Mar 20 2005
a(n) is the number of collections containing two or more nonempty subsets of {1,2,...,n} that are pairwise disjoint. - Geoffrey Critzer, Oct 10 2009
Equals row sums of triangle A180338. - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 28 2010

FORMULA
|
a(n) = B(n+1)-2^n, B = Bell numbers (A000110).
E.g.f.: d/dz (exp(exp(z)-1) - (1/2)*exp(2*z) - 1/2). - Thomas Wieder, Nov 30 2004
a(n) = Sum_{i=2..n} binomial(n,i)*(B(i)-1), B=Bell numbers A000110. - Geoffrey Critzer, Oct 10 2009
E.g.f.: exp(x + exp(x) - 1) - exp(2*x). - Peter Luschny, Jan 08 2021

EXAMPLE
|
a(3) = 7 because there are 7 collections (having more than one element)of nonempty subsets of {1,2,3} that are pairwise disjoint: {1}{2}; {1}{3}; {1}{2,3}; {2}{3}; {2}{1,3}; {1,2}{3}; {1}{2}{3}. - Geoffrey Critzer, Oct 10 2009
