COMMENTS

The asymptotic expansion of the higher order exponential integral E(x,m=5,n=4) ~ exp(-x)/x^5*(1 - 30/x + 625/x^2 - 11515/x^3 + 203889/x^4 - ... ) leads to the sequence given above. See A163931 for E(x,m,n) information and A163932 for a Maple procedure for the asymptotic expansion. - Johannes W. Meijer, Oct 20 2009

FORMULA

E.g.f.: (log(1-x)/(1-x))^4/24. - Vladeta Jovovic, May 05 2003

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^(n+k)*binomial(k+4, 4)*4^k*Stirling1(n+4, k+4). - Borislav Crstici (bcrstici(AT)etv.utt.ro), Jan 26 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-4) = |f(n,4,4)|, for n>=4. - Milan Janjic, Dec 21 2008

PROG
