A118194
Column 0 of the matrix log of triangle A118190, after term in row n is multiplied by n: a(n) = n*[log(A118190)](n,0), where A118190(n,k) = 5^(k*(n-k)).

COMMENTS
The entire matrix log of triangle A118190 is determined by column 0 (this sequence): [log(A118190)](n,k) = a(n-k)5^(k*(n-k))/(n-k) for n>k>=0.

FORMULA
G.f.: x/(1-x)^2 = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n/(1-5^n*x). By using the inverse transformation: a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} k*A118193(n-k)*5^(k*(n-k)) for n>=0.
EXAMPLE
Column 0 of log(A118190) = [0, 1, -3/2, 53/3, -4871/4, ...].
The g.f. is illustrated by:
x/(1-x)^2 = x + 2*x^2 + 3*x^3 + 4*x^4 + 5*x^5 + 6*x^6 + 7*x^7 + ...
= x/(1-5*x) -3*x^2/(1-25*x) +53*x^3/(1-125*x) -4871*x^4/(1-625*x) + 2262505*x^5/(1-3125*x) - 5269940619*x^6/(1-15625*x) + ...
