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, May 18 2009]

Form a triangle in which interior members T(i,j)=T(i-1,j-1)+ T(i-1,j).  The exterior members are given by 1,2,3,...2*n-1:T(1,1)=n, T(2,1)=n-1, T(3,1)=n-2...T(n,1)=1 and T(2,2)=n+1, T(3,3)=n+2,...T(n,n)=2*n-1.  The sum of all members will reproduce this sequence.  For example with n=4 the exterior members are 1 to 7: row(1)=4; row(2)=3,5; row(3)=2,8,6; row(4)=1,10,14,7.  The sum of all these members is 60, the fourth term in the sequence. - J. M. Bergot, Oct 16 2012

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
