%N Logarithmic derivative of the Bell numbers (A000110).

%C a(n) = number of indecomposable partitions (A074664) of [n+3] in which n+3 lies in a doubleton block (see Link). - _David Callan_, Oct 08 2014

%H David Callan, <a href="/A205543/a205543.pdf">A combinatorial interpretation for this sequence</a>

%F L.g.f.: log( Sum_{n>=0} x^n / Product_{k=1..n} (1 - k*x) ).

%e L.g.f.: L(x) = x + 3*x^2/2 + 10*x^3/3 + 39*x^4/4 + 171*x^5/5 + 822*x^6/6 +...

%e where exponentiation yields the o.g.f. of the Bell numbers:

%e exp(L(x)) = 1 + x + 2*x^2 + 5*x^3 + 15*x^4 + 52*x^5 + 203*x^6 + 877*x^7 +...

%e which equals the series:

%e exp(L(x)) = 1 + x/(1-x) + x^2/((1-x)*(1-2*x)) + x^3/((1-x)*(1-2*x)*(1-3*x)) +...

%o (PARI) {a(n)=n*polcoeff(log(sum(m=0,n, x^m/prod(k=1,m, 1-k*x +x*O(x^n)))),n)}

%Y Cf. A000110.

%K nonn

%O 1,2
