FORMULA
a(n) = A285362(n,3).
EXAMPLE
a(3) = 3 because the sum of the entries in the third blocks of all set partitions of [3] (123, 12|3, 13|2, 1|23, 1|2|3) is 0+0+0+0+3 = 3.
MAPLE
a:= proc(h) option remember; local b; b:=
proc(n, m) option remember;
`if`(n=0, [1, 0], add((p-> `if`(j=3, p+ [0,
(h-n+1)*p[1]], p))(b(n-1, max(m, j))), j=1..m+1))
end: b(h, 0)[2]
end:
seq(a(n), n=3..30);
MATHEMATICA
a[h_] := a[h] = Module[{b}, b[n_, m_] := b[n, m] = If[n == 0, {1, 0}, Sum[Function[p, If[j == 3, p + {0, (h - n + 1)*p[[1]]}, p]][b[n - 1, Max[m, j]]], {j, 1, m + 1}]]; b[h, 0][[2]]];
