FORMULA

a(n)=Sum(k*binom(n-1,k-1)*B(n-k), k=1..n), where B(q) are the Bell numbers (A000110).

a(n) = (n-1)*B(n-1)+B(n). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Nov 10 2006

EXAMPLE

a(3)=9 because the 5 (=A000110(3)) set partitions of {1,2,3} are 123, 12|3, 13|2, 1|23. and 1|2|3 and 3+2+2+1+1=9.

MAPLE

with(combinat): 1, seq(sum(k*binomial(n-1, k-1)*bell(n-k), k=1..n), n=2..24);
