COMMENT

a(n) = (n+1)*A(n) - (A(n+1)-A(n))/2, where A is sequence A000670

FORMULA

Exponential generating function = (3-2*exp(x)+x*exp(x))/(exp(x)-2)^2 formula: a(0)=1, a(n)=Sum_{k=1..n}(n-k+1)*k!*Stirling2(n,k)

EXAMPLE

the range of (2,5,5,3,4) is the interval {2,3,4,5}, the range of (2,5,5,3,2) is {2,3,5}, not an interval since 4 is missing

a(3) = 21 because the only 3-sequences in {1,2,3} (from a total of 3^3=27) whose range is not an interval are (1,1,3), (1,3,1), (1,3,3), (3,1,1), (3,1,3) and (3,3,1)
