Starting with a(0)=0 would give -A007526(n); starting with a(0)=1 would give -A038156(n). In general for this recurrence a(n) = ceiling[1 + n!*(a(0)-e)] for n>0; this is the first case with positive terms.

a(n) = ceiling[1 + n!*(3-e)] for n>0.
a(n)=3*n!-Sum{k=0..n}{k/k!}*n!, with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava, Oct 07 2008]
a(n) = n! -floor(e*n!) + 1,n>0 [From Gary Detlefs, Jun 06 2010]
