COMMENT

Starting with a(0)=0 would give -A007526(n); starting with a(0)=1 would give -A038156(n). In general for this recurrence a(n) = ceiling[1 + n!*(a(0)-e)] for n>0; this is the first case with positive terms.

FORMULA

a(n) = ceiling[1 + n!*(3-e)] for n>0.

a(n)=3*n!-Sum{k=0..n}{k/k!}*n!, with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (ppl(AT)spl.at), Oct 07 2008]

EXAMPLE

a(5) = 5*(a(4)-1) = 5*(8-1) = 35.
