FORMULA
a(n) = A270701(2n-1,n) = A270702(2n-1,n).
EXAMPLE
a(2) = 4 = 0+2+1+0+1 = sum of the sizes of all blocks with maximal element 2 in all set partitions of {1,2,3}: 123, 12|3, 13|2, 1|23, 1|2|3.
MAPLE
b:= proc(n, m, t) option remember; `if`(n=0, [1, 0], add(
`if`(t=1 and j<>m+1, 0, (p->p+`if`(j=-t or t=1 and j=m+1,
[0, p[1]], 0))(b(n-1, max(m, j), `if`(t=1 and j=m+1, -j,
`if`(t<0, t, `if`(t>0, t-1, 0)))))), j=1..m+1))
end:
a:= n-> b(2*n-1, 0, n)[2]:
seq(a(n), n=1..20);
MATHEMATICA
