Formula

a(n) = A001662(n)/gcd(A001662(n),A051711(n)).

From Vladimir Kruchinin, Nov 11 2012: (Start)

a(n) = numerator(1/n!*(Sum_{u=2..n} stirling2(n,u)*(Sum_{k=1..u-1} ((u+k-1)!*Sum_{j=1..k} 2^(-u-j)/(k-j)!*Sum_{l=1..j} (-1)^(l)/((j-l)!)*Sum_{i=0..l} (l^(u+j-i-1))/((l-i)!*i!*(u+j-i-1)!)))+1/2)).

a(n) = numerator(1/n!*Sum_{k=0..n-1} (n+k-1)!*Sum_{j=0..k} ((-1)^(j)/(k-j)!*Sum_{i=0..j} ((1/i!)*Stirling1(n-i+j-1,j-i))/(n-i+j-1)!))*2^(n-j-1)), n>0, a(0)=1. (End)

a(n) = numerator(q(n)/n!) where q(n) = add_{k=0..n-1}(-1)^k*E2(n-1,k) if n>0 and 1 otherwise, E2 the second-order Eulerian numbers. - Peter Luschny, Nov 13 2012

a(n) := numerator(1/n!*Sum_{i=1..n} Stirling2(n,i)*A013703(i)/2^(2*i+1)). - Paolo Bonzini, Jun 23 2016

Example

W(exp(x)) = 1 + (x-1)/2 + (x-1)^2/16 - (x-1)^3/192 - ...

Maple

a:= n-> numer(coeftayl(LambertW(exp(x)), x=1, n)):
seq(a(n), n=0..30);  # Alois P. Heinz, Nov 08 2012
# For large n much faster is:
q := proc(n) if n=0 then 1 else add((-1)^k*combinat[eulerian2](n-1, k), k=0..n-1) fi end: A001662 := n -> numer(q(n)/n!):
seq(A001662(n), n=0..100):  # Peter Luschny, Nov 13 2012
