FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (k^2)^(n-k) * k! * Stirling2(n, k).
E.g.f.: Sum_{n>=0} (exp(n^2*x) - 1)^n / n^(2*n).
EXAMPLE
O.g.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 3*x^2 + 31*x^3 + 573*x^4 + 18031*x^5 + 854613*x^6 +...
where
A(x) = 1 + x/(1-x) + 2!*x^2/((1-2^2*1*x)*(1-2^2*2*x)) + 3!*x^3/((1-3^2*1*x)*(1-3^2*2*x)*(1-3^2*3*x)) + 4!*x^4/((1-4^2*1*x)*(1-4^2*2*x)*(1-4^2*3*x)*(1-4^2*4*x)) +...
Exponential Generating Function.
E.g.f.: E(x) = 1 + x + 3*x^2/2! + 31*x^3/3! + 573*x^4/4! + 18031*x^5/5! +...
where
E(x) = 1 + (exp(x)-1) + (exp(4*x)-1)^2/4^2 + (exp(9*x)-1)^3/9^3 + (exp(16*x)-1)^4/16^4 + (exp(25*x)-1)^5/25^5 +...
