From Johannes W. Meijer, Oct 20 2009: (Start)
The asymptotic expansion of the higher order exponential integral E(x,m=3,n=7) ~ exp(-x)/x^3*(1 - 24/x + 431/x^2 - 7155/x^3 + 117454/x^4 + ...) leads to the sequence given above. See A163931 and A163932 for more information.

FORMULA
a(n) = A051339(n, 2)*(-1)^n; e.g.f.: (log(1-x))^2/(2*(1-x)^7).
If we define f(n,i,a)=sum(binomial(n,k)*stirling1(n-k,i)*product(-a-j,j=0..k-1),k=0..n-i), then a(n) = |f(n,2,7)|, for n>=1. - Milan Janjic, Dec 21 2008
