%N Generalized Stirling numbers.

%C The asymptotic expansion of the higher order exponential integral E(x,m=2,n=5) ~ exp(-x)/x^2*(1 - 11/x + 107/x^2 - 1066/x^3 + 11274/x^4 - 127860/x^5 + 1557660/x^6 - ... ) leads to the sequence given above. See A163931 and A028421 for more information. - _Johannes W. Meijer_, Oct 20 2009
