The asymptotic expansion of the higher order exponential integral E(x,m=3,n=2) ~ exp(-x)/x^3*(1 - 9/x + 71/x^2 - 580/x^3 + 5104/x^4 - 48860/x^5+ the sequence given above. See A163931 and A163932 for more information. - Johannes W. Meijer, Oct 20 2009
a(n-1) is equal to -1 times the coefficient of x of the characteristic polynomial of the n X n matrix whose (i,j)-entry is equal to i+3 if i=j and is equal to 1 otherwise. - John M. Campbell, May 24 2011

FORMULA

E.g.f. (with offset 2): log(1 - x)^2 / (2 * (1 - x)^2).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n}(-1)^(n+k)*binomial(k+2, 2)*2^k*stirling1(n+2, k+2). - Borislav Crstici (bcrstici(AT)etv.utt.ro), Jan 26 2004
a(n-1) = (1/2)*Sum_{i=0..n} binomial(n, i)*A000254(i)*A000254(n-i). - Benoit Cloitre, Mar 09 2004
If we define f(n,i,a)=sum(binomial(n,k)*stirling1(n-k,i)*product(-a-j,j=0..k-1),k=0..n-i), then a(n-1) = |f(n,2,2)|, for n>=2. - Milan Janjic, Dec 21 2008
a(n) = (n+3)!*((gamma-1)*Psi(n+4)+2+gamma^2-17*gamma/6+sum(Psi(i+4)/(i+4),i = 0 .. n-1)). - Mark van Hoeij, Oct 26 2011
