COMMENTS

Let P(A) be the power set of an n-element set A. Then a(n) = the total number of ways to add 1 or more elements of A to each element x of P(A) where the elements to add are not elements of x and order of addition is important. - Ross La Haye (rlahaye(AT)new.rr.com), Nov 19 2007

FORMULA

a(n)=n!*Sum_{i+j<n, i, j >= 0} 1/(i!*j!). - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Nov 01 2002

E.g.f.: x*exp(2*x)/(1-x). a(n) = n*(a(n-1)+2^(n-1)). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Oct 29 2003

a(n) = Sum[(n! / k!) * 2^k {k=0 to n-1}] = Sum[P(n, n-k) * 2^k {k=0 to n-1}] = n! * Sum[2^k / k! {k=0 to n-1}] = Sum[P(n, k) * 2^(n-k) {k=1 to n}] = sum of the n-th row of A090802 from column 1 on = A010842(n) - 2^n = n * A010842(n-1) = binomial transform of A007526 - Ross La Haye (rlahaye(AT)new.rr.com), Sep 15 2004

EXAMPLE

a(2) = 6 because (2! / 0! * 2^0) + (2! / 1! * 2^1) = 6

MATHEMATICA

a[ n_ ] := n!Sum[ 2^k/k!, {k, 0, n-1} ]
