FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} binomial(n,k) * (n-k)^k * (-k+1)^(n-k-1) for n>0 with a(0)=1.
E.g.f. satisfies:
_ A(x) = exp(x*exp(x/A(x))).
_ A(x) = exp(x* exp(x*exp(-x*exp(x*exp(-x*exp(x*exp(-x*...))))))).
_ A(x) = exp(x*B(x)) where B(x) = exp(x/B(x)) is the e.g.f. of A141369.
E.g.f. satisfies: x/exp(-x/A(x)) = log(A(x)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Feb 26 2014

EXAMPLE
E.g.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 3*x^2/2! + 4*x^3/3! - 19*x^4/4! - 64*x^5/5! +...
where log(A(x)) = x/A(-x) begins:
x/A(-x) = x + 2*x^2/2! - 3*x^3/3! - 32*x^4/4! + 105*x^5/5! + 2016*x^6/6! - 10115*x^7/7! - 282624*x^8/8! +...+ n*A141369(n-1)*x^n/n! +...
