COMMENTS
Row sums of number triangle A186020.
a(n) is the number of collections of subsets of {1,2,...,n-1} that are pairwise disjoint. a(n+1) = 2*Sum_{j=0..n} C(n,j)*Bell(j). For example a(3)=10 because we have: {}, {{}}, {{1}}, {{2}}, {{1,2}}, {{},{1}}, {{},{2}}, {{},{1,2}}, {{1},{2}}, {{},{1},{2}}. - Geoffrey Critzer, Aug 28 2014
a(n) is the number of collections of subsets of [n] that are pairwise disjoint and cover [n], with [0] = {}. - Manfred Boergens, May 02 2024

FORMULA
E.g.f.: 2*exp(exp(x)-1)-1. - Paul Barry, Apr 06 2011
a(n) = A000110(n)*A040000(n).
a(n+1) = 1 + Sum_{k=0..n} C(n,k)*a(k). - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Oct 02 2011.
From Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 11 2012 to Mar 29 2013: (Start) Continued fractions:
G.f.: A(x)= 1 + 2*x/(G(0)-x) where G(k)= 1 - x*(k+1)/(1 - x/G(k+1)).
G.f.: G(0)-1 where G(k) = 1-(x*k+1)/(x*k - 1 - x*(x*k - 1)/(x + (x*k + 1)/G(k+1))).
G.f.: (G(0)-2)/x - 1 where G(k) = 1 + 1/(1 - x/(x + (1 - x*k)/G(k+1))).
G.f.: (S-2)/x - 1 where S = 2*Sum_{k>=0} x^k/Product_{n=0..k-1}(1 - n*x).
G.f.: 1/(1-x) - x/(G(0)-x^2+x) where G(k) =x^2 + x - 1 + k*(2*x-x^2) - x^2*k^2 + x*(x*k - 1)*(x*k + 2*x - 1)^2/G(k+1).
E.g.f.: E(0) - 1 where E(k) = 1 + 1/(1 - 1/(1 + (k+1)/x*bell(k)/bell(k+1)/E(k+1))). (End)
a(n) = A060719(n-1) + 1, and the inverse binomial transform of A060719. - Gary W. Adamson, May 20 2013
G.f. A(x) satisfies: A(x) = 1 + (x/(1 - x)) * (1 + A(x/(1 - x))). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jun 30 2020
EXAMPLE
a(4) = A060719(3) + 1 = 29 + 1 = 30.
