FORMULA

E.g.f.: exp(x/(x-1))/(1-x); a(n)=2*(n-1)*a(n-1)-(n-1)^2*a(n-2) for n>1, a(0)=1, a(1)=0; a(n)=n!*Laguerre(n, 1). - C. Ronaldo (aga_new_ac(AT)hotmail.com), Dec 19 2004

EXAMPLE

The first few f[ x ] are 1, 1 - x, 1 - 2*x + x^2/2, 1 - 3*x + (3*x^2)/2 - x^3/6, giving the values 1, 0, -1/2, -2/3, ...

MAPLE

seq(coeff(convert(series(exp(x/(x-1))/(1-x), x, 50), polynom), x, i)*i!, i=0..20); A009940:=proc(n) options remember: if n<2 then RETURN([1, 0][n+1]) else RETURN(2*(n-1)*A009940(n-1)-(n-1)^2*A009940(n-2)) fi: end; seq(A009940(n), n=0..20); with(orthopoly):seq(n!*L(n, 1), n=0..20); (C. Ronaldo)
