COMMENTS

It appears that the definition of this sequence should be changed to s(n+4,n) or the offset changed to 5.(see Lajos code). A simlar error in defintion is found in A001303..(s(n+3,n)). Gary Detlefs

FORMULA

a(n) = binomial(n+4, 5)*(15*n^3+150*n^2+485*n+502)/48 - Andre F. Labossiere (boronali(AT)laposte.net), Sep 30 2004

Stirling1(n+1, n-3) = Sum(Sum(Sum(Sum(i*j*k*l, i = j+1 .. n), j = k+1 .. n), k = l+1 .. n), l = 1 .. n), cf. A001298. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Jan 31 2005

E.g.f. with offset 4: exp(x)*(sum(A112486(4, m)*(x^(4+m))/(4+m)!, m=0..4)).

a(n)= (f(n+3, 4)/8!)*sum(A112486(4, m)*f(8, 4-m)*f(n-1, m), m=0..min(4, n-1)), with the falling factorials f(n, m):=n*(n-1)*...*(n-(m-1)).

G.f.: x*(24+58*x+22*x^2+x^3)/(1-x)^9, see the k=3 row of triangle A112007 for [24, 58, 22, 1].
