FORMULA

Sum((-1)^i*binomial(5, i)*(5-i)^n, i = 0 .. 4).

5!*S(n, 5). E.g.f.: (e^x-1)^5.

a(n)=5^n-C(5,4)*4^n+C(5,3)*3^n-C(5,2)*2^n+C(5,1). - Mohamed Bouhamida (bhmd95(AT)yahoo.fr), Dec 15 2007

G.f.:(-1-274*x^4+225*x^3-85*x^2+15*x)/((x-1)*(4*x-1)*(3*x-1)*(2*x-1)*(5*x-1)) [From Maksym Voznyy (voznyy(AT)mail.ru), Jul 26 2009]

MAPLE

A001118:=-120/(z-1)/(4*z-1)/(3*z-1)/(2*z-1)/(5*z-1); [Conjectured (correctly) by Simon Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation. Gives sequence except for 5 leading terms.]
