COMMENT

a(n) is positive starting at n=8. - Karol A. Penson (penson(AT)lptl.jussieu.fr) and Olivier Gerard, Oct 22 2007

Hankel transform is A000178. [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Apr 23 2009]

FORMULA

E.g.f.: exp(exp(x)-2*x-1). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Aug 04 2007

a(n) = e^(-1) * sum( (k-2)^n / k!,k = 0..infinity ). This is a Dobinski-type formula. - Karol A. Penson (penson(AT)lptl.jussieu.fr) and Olivier Gerard, Oct 22 2007

G.f.: 1/(1+x-x^2/(1-2x^2/(1-x-3x^2/(1-2x-4x^2/(1-3x-5x^2/(1-.... (continued fraction). [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Apr 23 2009]

MATHEMATICA

Table[ Sum[ (-2)^(n - k) Binomial[n, k] BellB[k], {k, 0, n}], {n, 0, 50}] - Karol A. Penson (penson(AT)lptl.jussieu.fr) and Olivier Gerard, Oct 22 2007
