COMMENTS

Successive differences are factorials, or (n+1)-th successive difference divided by (n)-th successive difference = n. i.e. {a(n+2)-a(n+1)}/{a(n+1)-a(n)} = n. - Amarnath Murthy and Meenakshi Srikanth (amarnath_murthy(AT)yahoo.com), Jun 14 2003

FORMULA

a(n) =1+sum_{0<=i<=n-2} i! =2*A014288(n-1)+1 =A007489(n-2)+2 (n>1). - Henry Bottomley (se16(AT)btinternet.com), Oct 23 2002 ; Corrected by M. F. Hasler, Dec 16 2007

a(n) = 1+!(n-1) = 1+A003422(n-1) ; a(n+1)=a(n)+(n-1)! - M. F. Hasler, Dec 16 2007

E.g.f. A(x)=x*B(x) satisfies the differential equation B'(x)=B(x)+log(1/(1-x))+1 [From Vladimir Kruchinin (kru(AT)ie.tusur.ru), Jan 19 2011]

EXAMPLE

a(6) = 35, a(5)= 11 hence a(7) = 6*35 - 5*11 = 155.

MATHEMATICA

a[1] = 1; a[2] = 2; a[n_] := a[n] = (n - 1)*a[n - 1] - (n - 2)*a[n - 2]; Table[ a[n], {n, 1, 25} ]

a=FoldList[Plus, 2, (Range@40)! ]; PrependTo[a, 1] [From Vladimir Orlovsky (4vladimir(AT)gmail.com), May 21 2010]

PROG

(PARI) A067078(n)=sum(k=0, n-2, k!, 1) \\ - M. F. Hasler, Dec 16 2007.

(Haskell)

a067078 n = a067078_list !! (n-1)

a067078_list = scanl (+) 1 a000142_list
