FORMULA

a(n) = Sum_{i=0..n} 3^(n-i)*B(i)*binomial(n,i) where B(n) = Bell numbers A000110(n). - Fred Lunnon, Aug 04 2007

a(n) = exp(-1)*sum(k=>0, (k+3)^(n)/k!) - Gerald McGarvey (Gerald.McGarvey(AT)comcast.net), Jun 03 2004. May be rewritten as a(n)=sum(k^n*(k-1)*(k-2)/k!,k=3..infinity)/exp(1), which is a Dobinski-type relation for this sequence. - Karol A. Penson (penson(AT)lptl.jussieu.fr), Aug 18 2006

Define f_1(x),f_2(x),... such that f_1(x)=x^2*e^x, f_{n+1}(x)=diff(x*f_n(x),x), for n=2,3,.... Then a(n-1)=e^{-1}*f_n(1). - Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), May 30 2008
