COMMENTS

Sum(k=1,infinity,b(k))=e^(3/2) where e=2,718... More generally if b(1)=b(2)=...=b(m)=1 and b(n+m+1)=1/(n+m)*(b(n+m)+b(n+m-1)+...+b(n)) then Sum(k=1,infinity,b(k))=e^H(m) where H(m)=1+1/2+1/3+...+1/m is the m-th harmonic number. [Benoit Cloitre and Boris Gourevitch]

FORMULA

Numerators in the power series of exp(x+x^2/2) (e.g.f. for involutions, cf. A000085). exp(x+x^2/2) = 1 + x + x^2 + 2/3*x^3 + 5/12*x^4 + 13/60*x^5 + 19/180*x^6 + 29/630*x^7 + 191/10080*x^8 + ... [Joerg Arndt, May 10 2008]

CROSSREFS

Cf. A069944.

a(n)/A069944(n) = A000085(n-1)/A000142(n-1) in lowest terms. [Christian G. Bower, Jan 14 2006]
