Examining Sum_{n=1..k} 1/A002378(n) gives 1/2, 1/2 + 1/6, 1/2 + 1/6 + 1/12. Simplifying gives 1/2, 8/12, 108/144, where the numerators are this sequence and the denominators are A010790. Therefore we have k!^2*k/k!(k+1)! = k*k!/(k+1)! = k/(k+1), which tends to 1 as k tends to infinity. %F A084915 a(n) = n!*(n+1)! - n!^2. %F A084915 a(n) = det(PS(i+2,j+1), 1 <= i,j <= n-1), where PS(n,k) are Legendre-Stirling numbers of the second kind (A071951) and n > 0.
