Wikipedia, Partition of a set

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{j=0..n} (-1)^(n-j) * binomial(n,j) * A025035(j).

a(n) = A025035(n) - A370358(n).

a(n) mod 9 = A000007(n).

a(n) mod 2 = A059841(n).

Example

a(0) = 1: the empty partition satisfies the condition.
a(1) = 0: 123 is not counted.
a(2) = 9: 124|356, 125|346, 126|345, 134|256, 135|246, 136|245, 145|236, 146|235, 156|234 are counted. 123|456 is not counted.

Maple

a:= proc(n) option remember; `if`(n<3, [1, 0, 9][n+1],
      9*(n*(n-1)/2*a(n-1)+(n-1)^2*a(n-2)+(n-1)*(n-2)/2*a(n-3)))
    end:
seq(a(n), n=0..20);
