FORMULA
E.g.f.: ((x/(1-x))^7)/7!.
a(n) = (n!/7!)*binomial(n-1, 7-1).
If we define f(n,i,x) = Sum_{k=i..n} (Sum_{j=i..k} (binomial(k,j)*Stirling1(n,k)* Stirling2(j,i)*x^(k-j) ) ) then a(n+1) = (-1)^n*f(n,6,-8), (n>=6). - Milan Janjic, Mar 01 2009
From Amiram Eldar, May 02 2022: (Start)
Sum_{n>=7} 1/a(n) = 6342*(Ei(1) - gamma) - 8988*e + 80374/5, where Ei(1) = A091725, gamma = A001620, and e = A001113.
Sum_{n>=7} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 170142*(gamma - Ei(-1)) - 101640/e - 490714/5, where Ei(-1) = -A099285. (End)
