a(n) is the total size of all the image sets of all functions from [n] to [n]. I.e. a(n) is the sum of the cardinalities of every image set of every function whose domain and co-domain is {1,2,...,n}. |

COMMENT
|
a(n)/n^n is the expected value for the cardinality of the image set of a function that takes [n] to [n]. a(n)/(n^(n+1)) is the probability that any particular element of [n] will be in the range of a function f:[n]to[n].
|
|
FORMULA
|
a(n)=n(n^n-(n-1)^n); a(n) = Sum_{i=1 to i=n} {n,i}i!(n,i)i where {n,i} is the Stirling number of the second kind and (n,i) is the binomial coefficient.
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
a(2)=6 because the image sets of the functions from [2] to [2] are {1},{2},{1,2},{1,2}
