COMMENTS

Number of permutations of n elements with exactly 5 cycles.

Let P(n+3,X)=(X+1)(X+2)(X+3)...(X+n+3); then a(n) is the coefficient of X^4; or a(n)=P''''(n+3,0)/4! - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), May 09 2002

FORMULA

Contribution from Johannes W. Meijer (meijgia(AT)hotmail.com), Oct 20 2009: (Start)

The asymptotic expansion of the higher order exponential integral E(x,m=5,n=1) ~ exp(-x)/x^5*(1 - 15/x + 175/x^2 - 1960/x^3 + 22449/x^4 - ...) leads to the sequence given above. See A163931 for E(x,m,n) information and A163932 for a Maple procedure for the asymptotic expansion.

E.g.f. (-log(1-x))^5/5! or (1-x)^-1 * (-log(1-x))^4 [Corrected by Joerg Arndt, Oct 05 2009]

a(n) is coefficient of x^(n+5) in (-log(1-x))^5, multiplied by (n+5)!/5!

EXAMPLE

(-log(1-x))^5 = x^5 + 5/2*x^6 + 25/6*x^7 + 35/6*x^8 + ...
