%N A075473 n^n + n! - 2*(n+1)^(n-1).
%C A075473 Possibly the number of patterns for forming an ordered sum of n values v1+v2+...+vn chosen (possibly with repetition) from {b1,b2,...,bn} with b1<b2<...<bn, where the question of whether v1+v2+...+vn is greater than, less than or equal to b1+b2+...+bn depends of the values of {b1,b2,...,bn}: for example with n=3 b2+b2+b2 is not immediately clear, while with n=4 there are 30 unclear possibilities namely b2+b2+b2+b2, b3+b3+b3+b3, 6 permutations of b1+b1+b4+b4, 6 permutations of b2+b2+b3+b3, 4 permutations of b2+b2+b2+b3, 4 permutations of b2+b3+b3+b3, 4 permutations of b2+b2+b2+b4 and 4 permutations of b1+b3+b3+b3.
