Formula

a(n) ~ n^(n-2) * (1 + 2*exp(-1)/n). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 06 2016

a(0) = 1; a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} k^(k-2) * a(n-k). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Feb 07 2020

Example

G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 2*x^2 + 6*x^3 + 27*x^4 + 180*x^5 + 1678*x^6 + 20388*x^7 + 305331*x^8 + 5423511*x^9 + 111282445*x^10 + 2587931469*x^11 + 67239205808*x^12 +...
such that A(x) = 1 / (1 - Sum_{k>=1} k^(k-2) * x^k ).
The logarithm of the g.f. begins:
log(A(x)) = x + 3*x^2/2 + 13*x^3/3 + 83*x^4/4 + 746*x^5/5 + 8817*x^6/6 + 129340*x^7/7 + 2261195*x^8/8 + 45815431*x^9/9 + 1054594428*x^10/10 + 27167908186*x^11/11 + 774186515309*x^12/12 + 24174818590638*x^13/13 + 820795732075686*x^14/14 + 30104104733233598*x^15/15 +...
which equals the sum
log(A(x)) = (x + x^2 + 3*x^3 + 16*x^4 + 125*x^5 + 1296*x^6 +...) +
(x^2 + 2*x^3 + 7*x^4 + 38*x^5 + 291*x^6 + 2938*x^7 +...)/2 +
(x^3 + 3*x^4 + 12*x^5 + 67*x^6 + 507*x^7 + 5001*x^8 +...)/3 +
(x^4 + 4*x^5 + 18*x^6 + 104*x^7 + 783*x^8 + 7572*x^9 +...)/4 +
(x^5 + 5*x^6 + 25*x^7 + 150*x^8 + 1130*x^9 + 10751*x^10 +...)/5 +
(x^6 + 6*x^7 + 33*x^8 + 206*x^9 + 1560*x^10 + 14652*x^11 +...)/6 +
(x^7 + 7*x^8 + 42*x^9 + 273*x^10 + 2086*x^11 + 19404*x^12 +...)/7 +
... +
(x + 2^0*x^2 + 3^1*x^3 + 4^2*x^4 + 5^3*x^5 +...+ k^(k-2)*x^k +...)^n/n +
...
