Comments

Denominators are given by A130190, which in that entry are associated with the denominators of the z-sequence for a certain Sheffer matrix (triangle), but also apply here. See also the formula given there for the denominator of a certain sum involving the Stirling2 numbers.

Note that a(0) = 2 uses 0^0 := 1. For n >= 1 use triangle A079618 and the formula (1/e)*Sum_{k>=0} ((k+1)^n)/k! = Bell(n+1) = A000110(n+1). - Wolfdieter Lang, Feb 03 2015

If instead of Sum_{j=0..k} j^n one uses the sum with falling factorials, namely F(k, n) := Sum_{j=0..k} A008279(j, n) = A008279(k+1, n+1)/(n+1) the result for the rationals R(n) = (1/e)*Sum_{k>=0} (1/k!)*F(k, n) becomes very simple, namely R(n) = (n+2)/(n+1), n >= 0. - Wolfdieter Lang, Feb 03 2015

Formula

a(n) = numerator(r(n)) with the rationals r(n) = (1/e)*Sum_{k>=0} (1/k!)*(Sum_{j=0..k} j^n), n >= 0, where 0^0 := 1.

a(n) = numerator(r(n)), with r(n) = (1/A064538(n))*Sum_{k=0..n} T(n+1,k+1)*Bell(k+1), with T(n,k) = A079618(n,k) and Bell(n) = A000110(n), for n >= 1. a(0) = 2 using 0^0 := 1. See comments above. - Wolfdieter Lang, Feb 03 2015

Example

Terms up to n = 10, with denominators, are 2/1, 3/2, 17/6, 27/4, 293/15, 791/12, 10583/42, 25685/24, 448303/90, 251411/10, 4503535/33, ... .
From Wolfdieter Lang, Feb 03 2015: (Start)
With triangle A079618, A064538 and the Bell numbers A000110 the rationals r(n) are:
n=4: (1/30)*(-1*1 + 0*2 + 10*5 + 15*15 + 6*52) = 293/15.
n=9: (1/20)*(0*1 + (-3)*2 +  0*5 + 10*15 + 0*52 + (-14)*203 + 0*877 + 15*4140 + 10*21147 + 2*115975) = 251411/10.
