FORMULA
O.g.f.: Sum_{n>=1} n^(n-1) * n! * x^n / Product_{k=1..n} (1 - n*k*x).
a(n) ~ c * d^n * (n!)^2 / n^(3/2), where d = A317855 = (1+exp(1/r))*r^2 = 3.161088653865428813830172202588132491..., r = 0.873702433239668330496568304720719298... is the root of the equation exp(1/r)/r + (1+exp(1/r)) * LambertW(-exp(-1/r)/r) = 0, and c = 0.37498840921734807101035131780130551... . - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 21 2014
EXAMPLE
E.g.f.: A(x) = x + 5*x^2/2! + 79*x^3/3! + 2621*x^4/4! + 149071*x^5/5! +...
where
A(x) = (exp(x)-1) + (exp(2*x)-1)^2/2 + (exp(3*x)-1)^3/3 + (exp(4*x)-1)^4/4 + (exp(5*x)-1)^5/5 + (exp(6*x)-1)^6/6 + (exp(7*x)-1)^7/7 +...
Exponentiation yields:
exp(A(x)) = 1 + x + 6*x^2/2! + 95*x^3/3! + 3043*x^4/4! + 167342*x^5/5! +...+ A243802(n)*x^n/n! +...
The O.G.F. begins:
F(x) = x + 5*x^2 + 79*x^3 + 2621*x^4 + 149071*x^5 + 12954365*x^6 +...
where
F(x) = x/(1-x) + 2*2!*x^2/((1-2*x)*(1-4*x)) + 3^2*3!*x^3/((1-3*x)*(1-6*x)*(1-9*x)) + 4^3*4!*x^4/((1-4*x)*(1-8*x)*(1-12*x)*(1-16*x)) + 5^4*5!*x^5/((1-5*x)*(1-10*x)*(1-15*x)*(1-20*x)*(1-25*x)) +...
