FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} C(n-1,k-1) * Stirling2(n+k,k) for n>0, a(0)=1.
a(n) = c * (r^2/((1-r)*(2*r-1)))^n * n^(n-1/2) / exp(n), where r = 0.859294411517830517100430385442711799997876163... is the root of the equation (1-r)*(1+r)/r^2 = -LambertW(-exp(-1-1/r)*(1+r)/r), and c = 0.4180257159270405799046057130547446708890452... . - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 11 2014
EXAMPLE
O.g.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 8*x^2 + 121*x^3 + 2698*x^4 + 79654*x^5 + 2929238*x^6 +...
where
A(x) = 1 + x/(1-x)*exp(-x/(1-x)) + 2^4*x^2/(1-2*x)^2*exp(-4*x/(1-2*x))/2! + 3^6*x^3/(1-3*x)^3*exp(-9*x/(1-3*x))/3! + 4^8*x^4/(1-4*x)^4*exp(-16*x/(1-4*x))/4! + 5^10*x^5/(1-5*x)^5*exp(-25*x/(1-5*x))/5! +...
simplifies to a power series in x with integer coefficients.
Illustrate the terms by:
a(1) = 1*1 = 1;
a(2) = 1*1 + 1*7 = 8;
a(3) = 1*1 + 2*15 + 1*90 = 121;
a(4) = 1*1 + 3*31 + 3*301 + 1*1701 = 2698;
a(5) = 1*1 + 4*63 + 6*966 + 4*7770 + 1*42525 = 79654; ...
where Stirling2(n+k,k) forms a rectangular table as follows:
1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ...;
0, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, ...;
0, 1, 7, 25, 65, 140, 266, 462, ...;
0, 1, 15, 90, 350, 1050, 2646, 5880, ...;
0, 1, 31, 301, 1701, 6951, 22827, 63987, ...;
0, 1, 63, 966, 7770, 42525, 179487, 627396, ...; ...
