For some applications it is better to start this sequence with an extra 1 at the beginning: 1, 1, 2, 37, 266, 2431, 27007, 353522, 5329837, ... (again with offset 0). This sequence now has its own entry - see A144301.
Number of partitions of {1,...,k}, n <= k <= 2n, into n blocks with no more than 2 elements per block. Restated, number of ways to use the elements of {1,...,k}, n <= k <= 2n, once each to form a collection of n sets, each having 1 or 2 elements. - Bob Proctor, Apr 18 2005, Jun 26 2006. E.g., for n=2 we get: (k=2): {1,2}; (k=3): {1,23}, {2,13}, {3,12}; (k=4): {12,34}, {13,24}, {14,23}, for a total of a(2) = 7 partitions.
Equivalently, number of sequences of n unlabeled items such that each item occurs just once or twice (cf. A105749). - David Applegate, Dec 08 2008
