Table of n, a(n) for n=0..13.

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} A022169(n-1,k) * a(k) for n>0, with a(0)=1.

Example

The recurrence: a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} A022169(n-1,k) * a(k)
is illustrated by:
a(2) = 1*(1) + 6*(1) + 1*(2) = 9;
a(3) = 1*(1) + 31*(1) + 31*(2) + 1*(9) = 103;
a(4) = 1*(1) + 156*(1) + 806*(2) + 156*(9) + 1*(103) = 3276.
