COMMENTS

The asymptotic expansions of the higher order exponential integral E(x,m=2,n) lead to triangle A028421, see A163931 for information on the E(x,m,n). The o.g.f.s. of the right hand columns of triangle A028421 have a nice structure Gf(p) = W2(z,p)/(1-z)^(2*p) with p = 1 for the first right hand column, p = 2 for the second right hand column, etc.. The coefficients of the W2(z,p) polynomials lead to the triangle given above, n >= 1 and 1 <= m <= n. The row sums of this triangle lead to A001147 (minus a(0)), see A163936 for more information.

FORMULA
|
a(n,m) = sum((-1)^(n+k+1)*((m-k)/1!)*binomial(2*n,k)*stirling1(m+n-k-1,m-k),k=0..m-1)

|
|
EXAMPLE
|
The first few W2(z,p) polynomials are:
W2(z,p=1) = 1/(1-z)^2
W2(z,p=2) = (1+2*z)/(1-z)^4
W2(z,p=3) = (2+10*z+3*z^2)/(1-z)^6
W2(z,p=4) = (6+52*z+43*z^2+4*z^3)/(1-z)^8
