FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (n+k+1)^(k-1) * |Stirling1(n,k)|.
a(n) ~ s^2 * sqrt((1 - r*s) / (1 + r*s*(s-1) * (2 - r*s))) * n^(n-1) / (exp(n) * r^(n - 1/2)), where r = 0.1591040778917510493879632960549533860431737829556... and s = 1.588466710327904339474066925768589168215650366378... are real roots of the system of equations 1/s = (1 - r*s)^s, r*s/(1 - r*s) - log(1 - r*s) = 1/s. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 22 2021
