Table of n, a(n) for n=2..22.

Formula

a(n) = |Stirling1(n,2)| + (1/n) * Sum_{k=1..n-1} binomial(n,k) * |Stirling1(n-k,2)| * k * a(k).

a(n) ~ (n-1)! / (1 - exp(-sqrt(2)))^n. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 04 2022

a(n) = Sum_{k=1..floor(n/2)} (2*k)! * |Stirling1(n,2*k)|/(k * 2^k). - Seiichi Manyama, Jan 23 2025

Mathematica

nmax = 22; CoefficientList[Series[-Log[1 - Log[1 - x]^2/2], {x, 0, nmax}], x] Range[0, nmax]! // Drop[#, 2] &
a[n_] := a[n] = Abs[StirlingS1[n, 2]] + (1/n) Sum[Binomial[n, k] Abs[StirlingS1[n - k, 2]] k a[k], {k, 1, n - 1}]; Table[a[n], {n, 2, 22}]
