E.g.f. f(x) = Sum_{n >= 0} a(n)*x^n/(n)! satisfies the differential equation 16*x^2*(x - 1)^2*(x + 2)^2*(x^5 + 2*x^4 + 2*x^2 + 8*x - 4)*(d^2/dx^2)y(x) - 4*(x^13 + 4*x^12 - 16*x^10 - 10*x^9 - 36*x^8 - 220*x^7 - 348*x^6 - 48*x^5 + 200*x^4 - 336*x^3 - 240*x^2 + 416*x - 96)*(d/dx)y(x) - x^4*(x^5 + 2*x^4 + 2*x^2 + 8*x - 4)^2*y(x) = 0.
