G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..420

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) * (-3)^(n-k) * A000670(k).

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k * Stirling2(n,k) * k! * A002620(k+2).

a(n) = Sum_{k>=0} (k - 3)^n / 2^(k+1).

a(n) = (-3)^n + Sum_{k=0..n-1} binomial(n,k) * a(k).

a(n) ~ n! / (16 * log(2)^(n+1)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 15 2021
