Comments

This gives the third exponential (also called binomial) convolution of {A000272(n+1)} = {A232006(n+1, 1)}, for n >= 0, with e.g.f. (LambertW(-x),(-x)) (LambertW is the principal branch of the Lambert W-function).

This is also the row polynomial P(n, x) of the unsigned triangle A137452, evaluated at x = 3.

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} |A137452(n, k)|*3^k = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n-1, k-1)*n^(n-k)*3^k, with the n = 0 term equal to 1 (not 0)).

E.g.f.: (LambertW(-x)/(-x))^3.
