FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A132393(n,k)*4^k*7^(n-k).
G.f.: 1/(1-4*x/(1-7*x/(1-11*x/(1-14*x/(1-18*x/(1-21*x/(1-25*x/(1-... (continued fraction). - Philippe Deléham, Jan 08 2012
a(n) = (-3)^n*Sum_{k=0..n} (7/3)^k*s(n+1,n+1-k), where s(n,k) are the Stirling numbers of the first kind, A048994. - Mircea Merca, May 03 2012
From Ilya Gutkovskiy, Mar 23 2017: (Start)
E.g.f.: 1/(1 - 7*x)^(4/7).
a(n) ~ sqrt(2*Pi)*7^n*n^(n+1/14)/(exp(n)*Gamma(4/7)). (End)
a(n) = 4*7^(n-1)*Pochhammer(n-1, 11/7) with a(0) = 1. - G. C. Greubel, Feb 22 2022
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 1 + (e/7^3)^(1/7)*(Gamma(4/7) - Gamma(4/7, 1/7)). - Amiram Eldar, Dec 19 2022
