Formula
a(n) = (-1)^(n-1) * Sum_{k=0..n} (k-1)^(k-1) * Stirling2(n,k).
E.g.f.: A(x) = exp( LambertW(1 - exp(-x)) ).
G.f.: Sum_{k>=0} (-k+1)^(k-1) * x^k/Product_{j=1..k} (1 + j*x).
a(n) ~ -(-1)^n * sqrt(1 + exp(1)) * n^(n-1) / (exp(n+1) * (log(1 + exp(1)) - 1)^(n - 1/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Dec 05 2021
