COMMENTS

Sum_n a(n)*k^n/n! = 2*exp(2k)-exp(k) = 12.059830... = Sum_n A000225(n+1)*k^n/n! = Sum_n A053545(n)*k^n/n!

a(n)/2^n is the expected value of the cardinality of the generalized union of n randomly selected (with replacement) subsets of [n] where the probability of selection is equal for all subsets. [From Geoffrey Critzer (critzer.geoffrey(AT)usd443.org), May 18 2009]

FORMULA

a(n) = 2a(n-1)+2^n = A000225(n)*A001477(n) = A036289(n)-A001477(n). G.f. x(1-2x^2)/((1-x)(1-2x))^2.

a(n)=sum(sum(C(n,j), j=1..n),k=1..n), n>=0 . - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), May 10 2007
