The asymptotic expansion of the higher-order exponential integral E(x,m=1,n=5) ~ exp(-x)/x*(1 - 5/x + 30/x^2 - 210/x^3 + 1680/x^4 - 15120/x^5 + 151200/x^6 - 1663200/x^7 + ...) leads to this sequence. See A163931 and A130534 for more information. - Johannes W. Meijer, Oct 20 2009

FORMULA

a(n)= A049353(n-3, 1) (first column of triangle).
E.g.f. if offset 0: 1/(1-x)^5.
G(x) = (1 - (1 + x)^(-4)) / 4 = x - 5 x^2/2! + 30 x^3/3! - ..., an e.g.f. for this signed sequence (for n!/4!), is the compositional inverse of H(x) = (1 - 4*x)^(-1/4) - 1 = x + 5 x^2/2! + 45 x^3/3! + ..., an e.g.f. for A007696. Cf. A094638, A001710 (for n!/2!), and A001715 (for n!/3!). Cf. columns of A094587, A173333, and A213936 and rows of A138533. - Tom Copeland, Dec 27 2019
Sum_{n>=4} 1/a(n) = 24*e - 64.
