FORMULA

|a(n)| is asymptotic to (n-1)!/LambertW(1)^n. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Jul 12 2007

Sequence of absolute values has e.g.f. log(1/(1-x*exp(x))). [Joerg Arndt, Apr 30 2011]

a(n)=(-1)^(n+1)*n!*sum(m=1..n, m^(n-m-1)/(n-m)!), [From Vladimir Kruchinin, Oct 08 2011]

MATHEMATICA

Log[ 1+x/Exp[ x ] ]

PROG

(Pari) x='x+O('x^66); /* that many terms */

egf=1/(1+x/exp(x)); /* = 1 - x + 2*x^2 - 7/2*x^3 + 37/6*x^4 - 87/8*x^5 +... */

Vec(serlaplace(egf)) /* show terms */ /* Joerg Arndt, Apr 30 2011 */

(Maxima)

a(n):=(-1)^(n+1)*n!*sum(m^(n-m-1)/(n-m)!, m, 1, n); [From Vladimir Kruchinin, Oct 08 2011]
