FORMULA
a(n) = sum(all composition C of n, M(C) * prod(j=1..m-1, f(C[j]*C[j+1]) ) ) where m is the number of parts of the current composition P, f(i,j) = sum(k=0..i, (-1)^(i-k) * binomial(i,k) * (2^k-1)^j ), and M(C) is the multinomial coefficient n!/prod(j=1..m, C[j]! ); see Pari code.
Klarner incorrectly gives prod(j=1..m-1, f(C[j]*C[m]) ) in the formula for a(n).
Conjecture: a(n) ~ c * 2^(n^2/4 + 3*n/2) / sqrt(n), where c = EllipticTheta[3, 0, 1/2^(1/4)] / (sqrt(Pi) * 2^(1/4)) = 2.020039... (based on the numerical analysis of 600 terms). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Apr 10 2015
MAPLE
f:= (i, j)-> add((-1)^(i-k)*binomial(i, k) *(2^k-1)^j, k=0..i):
b:= proc(n, i) option remember;
`if`(n=0, 1, add(b(n-j, j)/j!*f(i, j), j=1..n))
end:
a:= n-> n!*b(n, 1):
seq(a(n), n=0..20); # Alois P. Heinz, Jul 23 2013
MATHEMATICA
f[i_, j_] := Sum[(-1)^(i-k)*Binomial[i, k]*(2^k-1)^j, {k, 0, i}]; b[n_, i_] := b[n, i] = If[n==0, 1, Sum[b[n-j, j]/j!*f[i, j], {j, 1, n}]]; a[n_] := n!*b[n, 1]; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 20}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Apr 08 2015, after Alois P. Heinz *)
