FORMULA

a(n) = n^(n-1)*(n*(n+2)-1)/2 for n>0, a(0) = 0.

E.g.f.: 1/2*W(-x)*(W(-x)^3+W(-x)^2-W(-x)-2)/(1+W(-x))^3, W(x) Lambert's function (principal branch).

a(n) = A062023(n) + A066274(n) for n>0.

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 1: [1].

a(2) = 7 = 2+2+1+2: [1,1], [2,1], [1,2], [2,2].

MAPLE

a:= n-> `if`(n=0, 0, n^(n-1)*(n*(n+2)-1)/2):

seq(a(n), n=0..25);
