Gottfried, 
    The formula for the sequence 
    A124824(n) = (1/e)*Sum_{k>=0} k*(n+k)^(n-1)/k!arose naturally as a variant of the well-known formula: 
    Bell(n) = (1/e)*Sum_{k>=0} k^n/k! 
when conformed to the following property of the LambertW function: 
   ( -LambertW(-x)/x )^k = Sum_{n>=0} k*(n+k)^(n-1)*x^n/n!  
I submitted the sequence since it seemed interesting, and 
Vladeta Jovovic quickly saw the (now obvious) formula: 
E.g.f.: A(x) = exp(L(x) - 1), where L(x) = -LambertW(-x)/x. 
 
But alas I do not know of any references that mention these numbers. 
Wish you the best of health, 
    Paul

Seqfans -

just rereading an older treatize of mine I arrive again
at a sequence of numbers, which is known by

  A124824: LambertW analog of the Bell numbers:
           a(n) = (1/e)*Sum_{k>=0} k*(n+k)^(n-1)/k! for n>0 with a(0)=1.

I've already seen this in 2010 when I wrote my treatize; looking
again and with a fresh view at it I'd like now to know where this
sequence occured and whether the authors could possibly provide
interesting references.

I'd dealt with the question of "tetration of matrices"
see http://go.helms-net.de/math/tetdocs/PascalMatrixTetrated.pdf
page 10 "Exponential of PP"

--------------------

Also I'd like to ask whether there's someone around who
would like to help me improve the article - I think there's
something more in this concept worth to get digged out, but due
to weak health I don't think I'll be able to put sufficient energy
into a serious revision and further development of that study.

Gottfried
