COMMENTS
Also, the number of ways of placing n labeled balls into n unlabeled (but 4-colored) boxes. Binomial transform of this sequence is A078945 and a(n+1) = 4*A078945(n). - Paul D. Hanna, Dec 08 2003
First column of PE^4, where PE is given in A011971, second power in A078937, third power in A078938, fourth power in A078939. - Gottfried Helms, Apr 08 2007
The number of ways of putting n labeled balls into a set of bags and then putting the bags into 4 labeled boxes. - Peter Bala, Mar 23 2013
Exponential self-convolution of A001861. - Vladimir Reshetnikov, Oct 06 2016

FORMULA
PE=exp(matpascal(5))/exp(1); A = PE^4; a(n)= A[ n,1 ] with exact integer arithmetic: PE=exp(matpascal(5)-matid(6)); A = PE^4; a(n)=A[ n,1]. - Gottfried Helms, Apr 08 2007
E.g.f.: exp(4*(exp(x)-1)).
a(n) = exp(-4)*Sum_{k>=0} 4^k*k^n/k!. - Benoit Cloitre, Sep 25 2003
G.f.: 4*(x/(1-x))*A(x/(1-x)) = A(x) - 1; four times the binomial transform equals this sequence shifted one place left. - Paul D. Hanna, Dec 08 2003
a(n) = Sum_{k = 0..n} 4^k*A048993(n, k); A048993: Stirling2 numbers. - Philippe Deléham, May 09 2004
G.f.: (G(0) - 1)/(x-1)/4 where G(k) = 1 - 4/(1-k*x)/(1-x/(x-1/G(k+1))); (recursively defined continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jan 16 2013
G.f.: T(0)/(1-4*x), where T(k) = 1 - 4*x^2*(k+1)/(4*x^2*(k+1) - (1-(k+4)*x)*(1-(k+5)*x)/T(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 28 2013
a(n) ~ n^n * exp(n/LambertW(n/4)-4-n) / (sqrt(1+LambertW(n/4)) * LambertW(n/4)^n). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 12 2014
G.f.: Sum_{j>=0} 4^j*x^j / Product_{k=1..j} (1 - k*x). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Apr 07 2019
