%N Let R(n) = sum {k = 0..inf} (3k)^n/(3k)! for n = 0,1,2,... . Then the real number R(n) is an integral linear combination of R(0), R(1) and R(2). This sequence gives the coefficients of R(1).
%C The coefficients of R(0) and R(2) are listed in A143815 and A143817 respectively.
%F a(n) = A143816(n) - A143817(n). a(n) = sum {k = 0..floor((n-1)/3)} (Stirling2(n,3k+1) - Stirling2(n,3k+2)). Let R(n) = sum {k = 0..inf} (3k)^n/(3k)! for n = 0,1,2,... . Then R(n) = A143815(n)*R(0) + A143818(n)*R(1) + A143817(n)*R(2). Some examples are given below. This generalizes the Dobinski relation for the Bell numbers: sum {k = 0..inf} k^n/k! = A000110(n)*exp(1). See A143815 for more details. Compare with A024429, A024430 and A143628--A143631
