FORMULA

E.g.f.: C(1-exp(-x)), where C(x) = (1 - sqrt(1 - 4*x)) / (2*x) is the e.g.f. for the Catalan numbers A000108.

a(n) = sum( S(n, k) * k! * M(k-1), k=1..n), S(n, k): Stirling number of the second kind, M(n): Motzkin number, A001006. - Detlef Pauly, Jun 06 2002

MAPLE

A006531 := n->add(stirling2(n, k)*k!*A001006(k-1), k=1..n);

CROSSREFS
