COMMENTS
a(n) is the total number of successions among all partitions of {1,2,...,n+1}; a succession is a pair (i,i+1) of consecutive integers lying in a block. For example, a(3)=15 because {1,2,3,4} has 6 partitions with 1 succession - 1/2/34, 1/23/4, 12/3/4, 14/23, 134/2, 124/3, 3 partitions with 2 successions - 1/234, 123/4, 12/34 and 1 partition with 3 successions - 1234. Thus a(3) = 6*1 + 3*2 + 1*3 = 15. - Augustine O. Munagi, Jul 01 2008
a(n) is the number of occurrences of integers in a list of all partitions of the set {1,...,n}. For example, the list 123, 1/23, 2/13, 3/12, 1/2/3 of all partitions of the set {1,2,3} requires 15 occurrences of integers each belonging to that set. [From Michael Hardy (hardy(AT)math.umn.edu), Nov 08 2008]
The bijection between the two foregoing characterizations is as follows: Fix x in {1,2,...,n} and associate x with the succession (x,x+1) which appears in some partitions of {1,2,...,n+1}. Replace x,x+1 by x and partition the n-set {1,2,...,x,x+2,...,n+1}, giving B(n) partitions. Thus the succession (x,x+1) occurs among partitions of {1,2,...,n+1} exactly B(n) times. - Augustine O. Munagi, Jun 02 2010
