COMMENTS

a(n) occurs in the process of normal ordering of the n-th power of a product of the cubes of the boson creation and boson annihilation operators.

a(11)=110264570238241604072673394 =~ 10^26.

Contribution from Peter Luschny, Mar 27 2011: (Start) Let B_{m}(x) = sum_{j>=0}(exp(j!/(j-m)!*x-1)/j!) then a(n) = n! [x^n] taylor(B_{3}(x)), where [x^n] denotes the coefficient of x^n in the Taylor series for B_{3}(x).

a(n) is row 3 of the square array representation of A090210. (End)

FORMULA

a(n)= sum((((k+3)!)^n)/((k+3)!*(k!)^n), k=0..infinity)/exp(1), n>=1. This is a Dobinski-type summation formula.

a(n)= (sum(((k*(k-1)*(k-2))^n)/k!, k=3..infinity)/exp(1), n>=1. Usually a(0) := 1. (From eq.(26) with r=3 of the Schork reference; rewritten original eq.(25) with r=3 of the Blasiak et al. reference.)

E.g.f. with a(0) := 1: (sum((exp(k*(k-1)*(k-2)*x))/k!, k=3..infinity)+5/2)/exp(1). From top of p. 4656 with r=3 of the Schork reference.

MAPLE

A069223 := proc(n) local r, s, i;

if n=0 then 1 else r := [seq(4, i=1..n-1)]; s := [seq(1, i=1..n-1)];

exp(-x)*6^(n-1)*hypergeom(r, s, x); round(evalf(subs(x=1, %), 99)) fi end:

seq(A069223(n), n=1..15); # - Peter Luschny, Mar 30, 2011

MATHEMATICA

f[n_] := f[n] = Sum[(k + 3)!^n/((k + 3)!*(k!^n)*E), {k, 0, Infinity}]; Table[ f[n], {n, 1, 9}]
