Here sigma(n,k) equals the sum of the k-th powers of the divisors of n.
FORMULA
Logarithmic derivative of A205811.
a(n) = Sum_{d|n} ((d+1)^n - 1).
a(n) = A163190(n) - tau(n).
a(n) ~ exp(1) * n^n. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 08 2016
EXAMPLE
L.g.f.: L(x) = x + 11*x^2/2 + 70*x^3/3 + 719*x^4/4 + 7806*x^5/5 +...
Exponentiation yields the g.f. of A205811:
exp(L(x) = 1 + x + 6*x^2 + 29*x^3 + 221*x^4 + 1897*x^5 + 23502*x^6 +...
Illustration of terms.
a(2) = 2*sigma(2,1) + 1*sigma(2,2) = 2*3 + 1*5 = 11;
a(3) = 3*sigma(3,1) + 3*sigma(3,2) + 1*sigma(3,3) = 3*4 + 3*10 + 1*28 = 70;
a(4) = 4*sigma(4,1) + 6*sigma(4,2) + 4*sigma(4,3) + 1*sigma(4,3) = 4*7 + 6*21 + 4*73 + 1*273 = 719.
