FORMULA
a(n) = Stirling2(9*n, n).
a(n) = [x^(9*n)] (9*n)! * (exp(x) - 1)^n / n!.
a(n) = [x^(8*n)] 1 / Product_{k=1..n} (1-k*x).
a(n) = 1/n! * [x^n] Sum_{k>=0} (k^9)^k*x^k / (1 + k^9*x)^(k+1).
a(n) ~ n^(8*n) * 9^(9*n) / (sqrt(2*Pi*(1-c)*n) * exp(8*n) * (9-c)^(8*n) * c^n), where c = -LambertW(-9*exp(-9)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, May 11 2014
EXAMPLE
O.g.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 131071*x^2 + 1270865805301*x^3 + 196740254364198919901*x^4 +...+ Stirling2(9*n, n)*x^n +...
where
A(x) = 1 + 1^9*x*exp(-1^9*x) + 2^18*exp(-2^9*x)*x^2/2! + 3^27*exp(-3^9*x)*x^3/3! + 4^36*exp(-4^9*x)*x^4/4! + 5^45*exp(-5^9*x)*x^5/5! +...
is a power series in x with integer coefficients.
