Seiichi Manyama, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..399
FORMULA
E.g.f.: exp(-4*LambertW(exp(-x)-1)).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^(n-k)*Stirling2(n, k)*4*(k+4)^(k-1).
E.g.f.: A(x) = G(x)^4 where G(x) = e.g.f. of A058864, which is the number of labeled chordal graphs (connected or not) on n nodes with no induced path P_4.
a(n) ~ 4*sqrt(exp(1)-1)*n^(n-1)/(exp(n-4)*(1-log(exp(1)-1))^(n-1/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 09 2013
EXAMPLE
O.g.f.: A(x) = 1 + 4*x + 20*x^2 + 128*x^3 + 1036*x^4 + 10308*x^5 +...
where the o.g.f. is given by:
A(x) = 1 + 4*5^0*x/(1+x) + 4*6^1*x^2/((1+x)*(1+2*x)) + 4*7^2*x^3/((1+x)*(1+2*x)*(1+3*x)) + 4*8^3*x^4/((1+x)*(1+2*x)*(1+3*x)*(1+4*x)) +...
E.g.f.: A(x) = 1 + 4*x + 20*x^2/2! + 128*x^3/3! + 1036*x^4/4! + 10308*x^5/5! +...
where the e.g.f. is given by:
A(x)^(1/2) = 1 + 2*x + 6*x^2/2! + 28*x^3/3! + 186*x^4/4! + 1614*x^5/5! + 17332*x^6/6! +...+ A196555(n)*x^n/n! +...
A(x)^(1/4) = 1 + x + 2*x^2/2! + 8*x^3/3! + 49*x^4/4! + 402*x^5/5! + 4144*x^6/6! +...+ A058864(n)*x^n/n! +...
