%F Forms the logarithmic derivative of A184730 (ignoring the initial term).

%F Limit n->infinity a(n)^(1/n^2) = (1-r)^(-r/2) = 1.53362806511..., where r = 0.70350607643... (see A220359) is the root of the equation (1-r)^(2*r-1) = r^(2*r). - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Jan 29 2014

%e The terms begin:

%e a(0) = 1;

%e a(1) = 1 + 1^2 = 2;

%e a(2) = 1 + 2^2 + 1^3 = 6;

%e a(3) = 1 + 3^2 + 3^3 + 1^4 = 38;

%e a(4) = 1 + 4^2 + 6^3 + 4^4 + 1^5 = 490;

%e a(5) = 1 + 5^2 + 10^3 + 10^4 + 5^5 + 1^6 = 14152.
