FORMULA
a(n)=sum(k=1..n, ((-1)^(k-1)*(k-1)!*sum(i=0..n-k, binomial(n,i)*(k^i*stirling1(n-i,k))))). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Jun 14 2011
a(n) ~ (n-1)! * (-1)^(n+1) / (1-exp(-r))^n, where r = 2.5051123308583601790988703653235907822189... is the root of the equation exp(-1 + exp(-r))*r = 1. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jan 24 2015
