COMMENTS

Sum the n-permutations having at least 1 cycle of length >= i for all i >= 1. A000142 + A033312 + A066052 + A202364 + ... The summation is precisely that indicated in the title since each permutation whose longest cycle = i is counted i times. - Geoffrey Critzer, Jan 09 2013

FORMULA

E.g.f.: sum(Sum_{k>=0, } (1/(1-x) - exp(sum(Sum_{j=1..k, } x^j/j )) ).

a(n) = f(n, 0, n, n!) where f(l,L, r, n, m) = m*r if r >= l, otherwise sumSum_{k=0..L-1} (f(k, max(lL-k,r), n-1, m/n) for k=0 to l-1) + (n-lL)*f(l,L, r, n-1, m/n)). [- _Thomas Dybdahl Ahle, _, Aug 15 2011]

Jon E. Schoenfield: Tried to clean up the Formula section.  Changed variable name from lower case L to upper case because it's easy to confuse "l" with "1".
