Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
Parts are unordered, sorts are ordered, all sorts up to the highest have to be present.

FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A255970(n,k).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A008284(n,k) * A000670(k). - Ludovic Schwob, Sep 25 2023
a(n) ~ n! / (2 * log(2)^(n+1)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Sep 26 2023
EXAMPLE
a(3) = 17: 1a1a1a, 2a1a, 1a, 1a1a1b, 1a1b1a, 1b1a1a, 1b1b1a, 1b1a1b, 1a1b1b, 2a1b, 2b1a, 1a1b1c, 1a1c1b, 1b1a1c, 1b1c1a, 1c1a1b, 1c1b1a (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:
a:= n-> add(add(b(n$2, k-i)*(-1)^i*binomial(k, i), i=0..k), k=0..n):
seq(a(n), n=0..25);
MATHEMATICA
b[n_, i_, k_] := b[n, i, k] = If[n==0, 1, If[i<1, 0, b[n, i-1, k] + If[i>n, 0, k*b[n-i, i, k]]]]; a[n_] := Sum[Sum[b[n, n, k-i]*(-1)^i*Binomial[k, i], {i, 0, k}], {k, 0, n}]; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 25}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Feb 06 2017, translated from Maple *)
