COMMENTS

a(0) could alternatively be defined as 1 from the formula or the convention for 0^0.

This sum is remarkable for its three different decompositions involving powers and binomials (see formulas and cross-refs)

FORMULA

a(n)=sum( binomial(n,k)*sum( j^n, j=1..k), k=0..n)

a(n)=sum( binomial(n,k)*H_k^{-n}, k=0..n)  with H_k^(-n) = k-th harmonic number of order -n.

a(n)=sum( k^n * sum( binomial(n,n-k-j), j=0..n-k), k=0..n)

a(n)=sum( k^n * binomial(n,n-k) 2F1(1, k-n; k+1)(-1), k=0..n)

a(n)=sum( sum( (k-j)^n * binomial(n,j), j=0..k), k=0..n)

a(n)=sum( sum( (n-j)^n * binomial(n,n+k-j), j=0..n), k=0..n)

and the equivalent formulas obtained by symmetries of the binomial and the hypergeometric function as well as treating the zero-th term separately.
