Also number of ways of partitioning a multiset with multiplicities some partition of n into disjoint blocks. Example: a(4) = 25: 1111; 111,2; 1112; 11,22; 1122; 11,2,3; 11,23; 112,3; 113,2; 1123; 1,2,3,4; 1,2,34; 1,23,4; 1,24,3; 1,234; 12,3,4; 12,34; 13,2,4; 13,24; 14,2,3; 14,23; 123,4; 124,3; 134,2; 1234. Formula: a(n) is the sum of Bell numbers of lengths of all integer partitions of n. - Gus Wiseman, Feb 17 2016

FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A256130(n,k).
a(n) ~ Bell(n) = A000110(n). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 01 2015
G.f.: Sum_{k>=0} Bell(k) * x^k / Product_{j=1..k} (1 - x^j). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jan 28 2020
EXAMPLE
a(3) = 8: 1a1a1a, 2a1a, 3a, 1a1a1b, 1a1b1a, 1a1b1b, 2a1b, 1a1b1c (in this example the sorts are labeled a, b, c).
MAPLE
b:= proc(n, i, k) option remember; `if`(n=0, 1, `if`(i<1, 0,
b(n, i-1, k) +`if`(i>n, 0, k*b(n-i, i, k))))
end:
T:= (n, k)-> add(b(n$2, k-i)*(-1)^i/(i!*(k-i)!), i=0..k):
a:= n-> add(T(n, k), k=0..n):
seq(a(n), n=0..25);
