FORMULA
E.g.f.: exp( Sum_{n>=1} 3*x^n/(n*n!) ) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n/n!^2.
a(n) = (n-1)!* Sum_{k=0..n-1} 3*binomial(n,k)*a(k)/k! for n>0 with a(0)=1.
EXAMPLE
E.g.f.: A(x) = 1 + 3*x + 21*x^2/2! + 249*x^3/3! + 4356*x^4/4! + 103932*x^5/5! + ...
Related expansions:
A(x/(1-x))/(1-x) = 1 + 4*x + 35*x^2/2! + 498*x^3/3! + 10164*x^4/4! + ...
A(x) + x*A'(x)/3 = 1 + 4*x + 35*x^2/2! + 498*x^3/3! + 10164*x^4/4! + ...
Also, a(n) appears in the expansion:
B(x) = 1 + 3*x + 21*x^2/2!^2 + 249*x^3/3!^2 + 4356*x^4/4!^2 + 103932*x^5/5!^2 + ...
such that
log(B(x)) = 3*x + 3*x^2/(2*2!) + 3*x^3/(3*3!) + 3*x^4/(4*4!) + 3*x^5/(5*5!) + ...
