%N a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^(n-k)*Bell(k).

%C a(n) is the number of set partitions of [n] that contain exactly one singleton block and all other blocks contain an entry > this singleton. For example, a(3)=3 counts 124/3, 134/2, 1/234 but not 123/4. - _David Callan_, Aug 27 2014

%C Partial sums are A173109. - _Vladimir Reshetnikov_, Oct 29 2015

%F E.g.f.: exp(-x)*((exp(x)-1)*exp(exp(x)-1)+1).

%F a(n) = A000296(n+1) + (-1)^n. - _David Callan_, Aug 27 2014

%F G.f.: 1/(1+x)/W(0), where W(k) = 1 - x/(1 - x*(k+1)/W(k+1) ); (continued fraction). - _Sergei N. Gladkovskii_, Nov 10 2014

%F a(0) = 1; a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n-1} binomial(n,k) * a(k-1). - _Ilya Gutkovskiy_, Mar 04 2021
