COMMENT

Perhaps the largest possible number of ways of choosing (v1,v2,...,vn), possibly with repetition, from {b1,b2,...,bn} with b1<b2<...<bn, such that v1+v2+...+vn<b1+b2+...+bn. Clearly the actual number of ways depends on the particular values of {b1,b2,...,bn}, but {1,n,n^2,...,n^(n-1)} produces this result for the number of sums strictly less than (n^n-1)/(n-1)=A023037(n).

FORMULA

a(n)/(e*a(n-1))-n tends towards -1/2; a(n)/n^n tends towards 1/(e-1).

EXAMPLE

a(4)=4!*(0^1/1!+1^2/2!+2^3/3!+3^4/4!)=0+12+32+81=125.
