Table of n, a(n) for n=4..24.

Formula

a(n) = Stirling2(n,4) - (1/n) * Sum_{k=1..n-1} binomial(n,k) * Stirling2(n-k,4) * k * a(k).

a(n) ~ -(n-1)! * 2^(n+1) * cos(n*arctan((2*arctan(1/(1 + 1/6^(1/4)))) / log(1 + 2*6^(1/4) + 2*6^(1/2)))) / (4*arctan(1/(1 + 1/6^(1/4)))^2 + log(1 + 2*6^(1/4) + 2*6^(1/2))^2)^(n/2). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 09 2021

a(n) = Sum_{k=1..floor(n/4)} (-1)^(k-1) * (4*k)! * Stirling2(n,4*k)/(k * 24^k). - Seiichi Manyama, Jan 23 2025
