FORMULA

E.g.f. x^k/k!*exp(x^2/(1-x))/(1-x) where k=1. [Joerg Arndt, Jul 11 2011]

a(n) = n!*sum(m=0..n-1,(-1^m/m!)*sum(j=0..n-m,C(n-m)/j!))

(n-1)*a(n)=n*(2*n-3)*a(n-1)-n*(n-1)*(n-4)*a(n-2)-n*(n-1)*(n-2)*a(n-3), a(1)=1 and a(n)= 0 if n<1

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 12 because there are exactly 12 partial bijections (on a 3-element set) with exactly 1 fixed point, namely: (1)->(1), (2)->(2), (3)->(3), (1,2)->(1,3), (1,2)->(3,2), (1,3)->(1,2), (1,3)->(2,3), (2,3)->(2,1), (2,3)->(1,3), (1,2,3)->(1,3,2), (1,2,3)->(3,2,1), (1,2,3)->(2,1,3) - the mappings are coordinate-wise.

PROG

(PARI) x='x+O('x^66); /* that many terms */

k=1; egf=x^k/k!*exp(x^2/(1-x))/(1-x);

Vec(serlaplace(egf)) /* show terms, starting with 1 */
