Formula

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

E.g.f.: A(x) = exp( LambertW(1 - exp(-x)) ).

G.f.: Sum_{k>=0} (-k+1)^(k-1) * x^k/Product_{j=1..k} (1 + j*x).

a(n) ~ -(-1)^n * sqrt(1 + exp(1)) * n^(n-1) / (exp(n+1) * (log(1 + exp(1)) - 1)^(n - 1/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Dec 05 2021

Maple

b:= proc(n, m) option remember; `if`(n=0,
     (m-1)^(m-1), m*b(n-1, m)+b(n-1, m+1))
    end:
a:= n-> (-1)^(n-1)*b(n, 0):
seq(a(n), n=0..20);  # Alois P. Heinz, Aug 03 2022

Mathematica
