%N a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k)^(k+2).

%C Ignoring initial term a(0), equals the logarithmic derivative of A206153.

%F Limit n->infinity a(n)^(1/n^2) = (1-r)^(-r/2) = 1.53362806511..., where r = 0.70350607643... (see A220359) is the root of the equation (1-r)^(2*r-1) = r^(2*r). - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Jan 29 2014

%e L.g.f.: L(x) = 2*x + 10*x^2/2 + 110*x^3/3 + 2386*x^4/4 + 125752*x^5/5 +...

%e where exponentiation yields A206151:

%e exp(L(x)) = 1 + 2*x + 7*x^2 + 48*x^3 + 693*x^4 + 26632*x^5 + 2542514*x^6 +...

%e Illustration of initial terms:

%e a(1) = 1^2 + 1^3 = 2;

%e a(2) = 1^2 + 2^3 + 1^4 = 10;

%e a(3) = 1^2 + 3^3 + 3^4 + 1^5 = 110;

%e a(4) = 1^2 + 4^3 + 6^4 + 4^5 + 1^6 = 2386;

%e a(5) = 1^2 + 5^3 + 10^4 + 10^5 + 5^6 + 1^7 = 125752; ...
