COMMENTS

G.f. satisfies a variant of an identity involving A003024:

1 = Sum_{n>=0} A003024(n)*x^n/(1 + 2^n*x)^(n+1),

where A003024(n) is the number of acyclic digraphs with n labeled nodes.

FORMULA

G.f.: 1 = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*C(n+m-1,n)*x^n/(1 + 3^n*x)^(n+m) for m>=1.

L.g.f.: log(1+x) = Sum_{n>=1} a(n)*(x^n/n)/(1 + 3^n*x)^n.

E.g.f.: 1 = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*exp(-3^n*x)*x^n/n!.

a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} (-1)^(k+1)*C(n, k)*3^(k*(n-k))*a(n-k) for n>0 with a(0)=1.

From Peter Bala, Apr 01 2013: (Start)

Let E(x) = sum {n >= 0} x^n/(n!*3^C(n,2)). Then a generating function for this sequence is 1/E(-x) = sum {n >= 0} a(n)*x^n/(n!*3^C(n,2)) = 1 + x + 5*x^2/(2!*3) + 109*x^3/(3!*3^3) + 9449*x^4/(4!*3^6) + ....

Recurrence equation: a(n) = sum {k = 0..n-1} C(n,k)*(-1)^(n-k+1)*3^(k*(n-k))*a(k) with a(0) = 1. (End)

EXAMPLE

Illustration of the generating functions.

E.g.f.: 1 = exp(-x) + exp(-3*x)*x + 5*exp(-9*x)*x^2/2! + 109*exp(-27*x)*x^3/3! +...

L.g.f.: log(1+x) = x/(1+3*x) + 5*(x^2/2)/(1+9*x)^2 + 109*(x^3/3)/(1+27*x)^3 +...

G.f.: 1 = 1/(1+x) + 1*x/(1+3*x)^2 + 5*x^2/(1+9*x)^3 + 109*x^3/(1+27*x)^4 +...

G.f.: 1 = 1/(1+x)^2 + 1*2*x/(1+3*x)^3 + 5*3*x^2/(1+9*x)^4 + 109*4*x^3/(1+27*x)^5 +...

G.f.: 1 = 1/(1+x)^3 + 1*3*x/(1+3*x)^4 + 5*6*x^2/(1+9*x)^5 + 109*10*x^3/(1+27*x)^6 +...
