FORMULA
E.g.f. is solution to y = y' * (1 - x + x*y).
a(n) = sum(k=0..n, binomial(n+k+1,n) * sum(j=1..k+1, (-1)^(j) * binomial(k+1,j) * sum(i=1..n, (-1)^i * i! * binomial(j+i-1,j-1) * stirling1(n,i)))) / (n+1), n>0, a(0)=1. [Vladimir Kruchinin, Mar 29 2013]
Lim sup n->infinity (|a(n)|/n!)^(1/n) = abs(LambertW(-1)) = 1.37455701074370748653... (see A238274). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Feb 24 2014
a(n) = n! * Sum_{k=0..n} Stirling1(n,k)/(n-k+1)!. - Seiichi Manyama, Nov 07 2023
EXAMPLE
y = 1 + x + 1/2*x^2 - 1/6*x^3 - 5/12*x^4 - 1/20*x^5 + 49/120*x^6 + 15/56*x^7 + ...
PROG
(PARI) {a(n) = local(A); if( n<0, 0, A = 1 + O(x); for( k=1, n, A = 1 + log(1 + x * A)); n! * polcoeff( A, n))}
(Maxima) a(n):=if n=0 then 1 else sum(binomial(n+k+1, n) * sum((-1)^(j) * binomial(k+1, j) * sum((-1)^i * i! * binomial(j+i-1, j-1) * stirling1(n, i), i, 1, n), j, 1, k+1), k, 0, n) / (n+1); [Vladimir Kruchinin, Mar 29 2013]
