FORMULA
E.g.f.: x^4*log(-1/(-1+x)).
Recurrence: {a(1)=0, a(2)=0, a(4)=0, a(3)=0, a(5)=120, (-n^2+3*n+4)*a(n) + (n-3)*a(n+1)}.
a(n) = n! / (n-4) (n > 4). - Olivier Gérard, Jun 13 2001
Sum_{n>=5} 1/a(n) = 49/6 - 3*e. - Amiram Eldar, Oct 07 2020
Sum_{n>=5} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 5/e - 11/6. - Amiram Eldar, Aug 20 2022
MAPLE
spec := [S, {B=Cycle(Z), S=Prod(Z, Z, Z, Z, B)}, labeled]: seq(combstruct[count](spec, size=n), n=0..20);
MATHEMATICA
a[n_] := If[n < 5, 0, n!/(n - 4)]; Array[a, 20, 0] (* Amiram Eldar, Oct 07 2020 *)
