Formula

a(n) = a(n-1) * n^2 + (n-1)! *n! * Sum_{k=1..n} 1/k.

From Vladeta Jovovic, Jan 29 2005: (Start)

Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n/n!^2 = -dilog(1/(1-x))/(1-x).

a(n) = n!^2*Sum_{k=1..n} (-1)^(k+1)*binomial(n, k)/k^2. (End)

From Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 23 2017: (Start)

a(n) = (3*n^2 - 3*n + 1)*a(n-1) - 3*(n-1)^4*a(n-2) + (n-2)^3*(n-1)^3*a(n-3).

a(n) ~ n!^2 * log(n)^2/2 * (1 + 2*gamma/log(n) + (Pi^2/6 + gamma^2)/log(n)^2), where gamma is the Euler-Mascheroni constant (A001620). (End)

Example

a(2) = 2!^2 *(1/(1*1) + 1/(1*2) + 1/(2*2)) = 7.
