FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} 5^k * A048993(n,k); A048993: Stirling2 numbers.
G.f.: A(x) satisfies 5*(x/(1-x))*A(x/(1-x)) = A(x)-1; five times the binomial transform equals this sequence shifted one place left.
E.g.f.: exp(5*(exp(x)-1)).
G.f.: (G(0) - 1)/(x-1)/5 where G(k) = 1 - 5/(1-k*x)/(1-x/(x-1/G(k+1) )); (recursively defined continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jan 16 2013
a(n) ~ n^n * exp(n/LambertW(n/5)-5-n) / (sqrt(1+LambertW(n/5)) * LambertW(n/5)^n). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 12 2014
G.f.: Sum_{j>=0} 5^j*x^j / Product_{k=1..j} (1 - k*x). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Apr 07 2019
