FORMULA

Comments from Miklos Kristof, Nov 04 2007 (Start): (1+x)^(1/x) = exp(log(1+x)/x) = exp(1)*exp(-x/2)*exp(x^2/3)*exp(x^3/4)*...

Let a(n) be A055505, let b(n) be this sequence. Then (1+x)^(1/x) = exp(1)*a(n)/b(n) x^n.

a(n)/b(n) = sum(s(i,i-n)/(i !), i = n,...,infinity),... where s(n,m) is a Stirling number of the first kind.

exp(1) = 1+sum(s(i,i)/i !,i = 1,... infinity), for the n = 1 case.

a(1)/b(1) = 1/1 because 1+1/1!+1/2!+1/3!+1/4!+... = exp(1)

a(2)/b(2) = 1/2 because 1/2!+3/3!+6/4!+10/5!+... = 1/2*exp(1)

a(3)/b(3) = 11/24 because 2/3!+11/4!+35/5!+85/6!+... = 11/24*exp(1)

a(4)/b(4) = 7/16 because 6/4!+50/5!+225/6!+735/7!+... = 7/16*exp(1) (End)

EXAMPLE

(1-x)^(-1/x) = exp(1)*(1 + 1/2*x + 11/24*x^2 + 7/16*x^3 + 2447/5760*x^4 + 959/2304*x^5 + 238043/580608*x^6 + ...).
