Comments

Finite expansions after the "decimal" point are allowed, but there must be a number before it (so we can have 0.1, but not .01).

Table of n, a(n) for n=2..19.

Cf. A001339.

Formula

a(n)=Sum(i=0, n-1) (i^2+i+1)(n-1)!/(n-1-i)!; n>1

Example

a(2)=4 because in the binary system only the numbers 0; 1; 0.1; 10 can be written with each digit used at most once (all unnecessary 0's deleted).

Mathematica

f[n_] := Sum[(i^2 + i + 1)(n - 1)!/(n - 1 - i)!, {i, 0, n - 1}]; Table[ f[n], {n, 2, 19}] (* Robert G. Wilson v *)
