A104150 Shifted factorial numbers: a(0)=0, a(n)=(n-1)!. 0

COMMENTS

E.g.f. = Sum{n=1,2..}(n-1)!*x^n/n! = Sum{n=1,2..}x^n/n The shift law of the E.g.f.: if Sum{n=0,1,2..}a(n)*x^n/n! = f(x), then Sum{n=0,1,2..}a(n+1)*x^n/n! = d/dx f(x) and Sum{n=1,2..}a(n-1)*x^n/n! = integral f(x). E.g.f. of A000142 (= n!) is 1/(1-x), so E.g.f. of a(n)=(n-1)! is integral 1/(1-x) = -ln(1-x).

FORMULA

E.g.f. = -ln(1-x) = x + x^2/2 + x^3/3 + ...+ x^n/n + ...
