Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

FORMULA
a(n) = Sum of n!prod_{k=1}^n\{ frac{ A134958(k)^{c_k} }{ k!^{c_k} c_k! } } over all the partitions of n with parts k > 1, c_1 + 2c_2 + ... + nc_n; c_1, c_2, ..., c_n >= 0.
EXAMPLE
a(5) = 11232 since the partitions of 5 with parts > 1 are [5] and [3,2]. The partition [5] corresponds to 9952 hypergraphs and [3,2] corresponds to 5!4/2!32/3! = 1280.
