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=6,n=1) ~ exp(-x)/x^6*(1 - 21/x + 322/x^2 - 4536/x^3 + 63273/x^4 - ...) leads to the sequence given above. See See A163931 for E(x,m,n) information and A163932 for a Maple procedure for the asymptotic expansion.

FORMULA

Let P(n+4,X)=(X+1)(X+2)(X+3)...(X+n+4); then a(n) is the coefficient of X^5; or a(n)=P'''''(n+4,0)/5! - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), May 09 2002

E.g.f.: (-log(1-x))^6/6! or (1-x)^-1 * (-log(1-x))^5.

a(n) is coefficient of x^(n+6) in (-log(1-x))^6, multiplied by (n+6)!/6!.

EXAMPLE

(-log(1-x))^6 = x^6 + 3*x^7 + 23/4*x^8 + 9*x^9 + ...
