COMMENTS
a(n) = number of permutations on [n] that contain a 132 pattern only as part of a 4132 pattern. For example, a(4) = 15 counts the 14 132-avoiding permutations on [4] (Catalan numbers A000108) and 4132.
a(n) is the number of permutations on [n] that contain a (scattered) 342 pattern only as part of a 1342 pattern. For example, 412635 fails because 463 is an offending 342 pattern (= 231 pattern).
This sequence gives the number of permutations of {1,2,...,n} such that the elements of each cycle of the permutation form an interval. - Michael Albert, Dec 14 2004
Starting (1, 2, 5, 15, ...) = row sums of triangle A143965. - Gary W. Adamson, Apr 10 2009
Number of compositions of n where there are (k-1)! sorts of part k. - Joerg Arndt, Aug 04 2014

FORMULA
It appears that the INVERT transform of factorial numbers A000142 gives 1, 2, 5, 15, 54, 235, 1237, ... - Antti Karttunen, May 30 2003
This is true: translating the defining recurrence to a generating function identity yields A(x)= 1/(1 - (0!x + 1!x^2 + 2!x^3 + ...)) which is the INVERT formula.
In other words: let F(x) = Sum_{n>=0} n!*x^n then the g.f. is 1/(1-x*F(x)), cf. A052186 (g.f. F(x)/(1+x*F(x))). - Joerg Arndt, Apr 25 2011
a(n) = Sum_{k>=0} A084938(n, k). - Philippe Deléham, Feb 05 2004
G.f. A(x) satisfies: A(x) = (1-x)*A(x)^2 - x^2*A'(x). - Paul D. Hanna, Aug 02 2008
G.f.: A(x) = 1/(1-x/(1-1*x/(1-1*x/(1-2*x/(1-2*x/(1-3*x/(1-3*x...))))))))) (continued fraction). - Paul Barry, Sep 25 2008
From Gary W. Adamson, Jul 22 2011: (Start)
a(n) = upper left term in M^n, M = an infinite square production matrix in which a column of 1's is prepended to Pascal's triangle, as follows:
1, 1, 0, 0, 0, ...
1, 1, 1, 0, 0, ...
1, 1, 2, 1, 0, ...
1, 1, 3, 3, 1, ...
...
Also, a(n+1) = sum of top row terms of M^n. (End)
G.f.: 1+x/(U(0)-x) where U(k) = 1 + x*k - x*(k+1)/U(k+1); (continued fraction, 1-step). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 10 2012
G.f.: 1/(U(0) - x) where U(k) = 1 - x*(k+1)/(1 - x*(k+1)/U(k+1)); (continued fraction, 2-step). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 12 2012
a(n) ~ (n-1)! * (1 + 2/n + 7/n^2 + 31/n^3 + 165/n^4 + 1025/n^5 + 7310/n^6 + 59284/n^7 + 543702/n^8 + 5618267/n^9 + 65200918/n^10), for coefficients see A260532. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 28 2015
EXAMPLE
a[ 4 ]=15=a[ 3 ]*0!+a[ 2 ]*1!+a[ 1 ]*2!+a[ 0 ]*3!=5*1+2*1+1*2+1*6.
As to matrix M, a(3) = 5 since the top row of M^n = (5, 5, 4, 1), with a(4) = 15 = (5 + 5 + 4 + 1).
MAPLE
