Mathematica

g[n_] := g[n] = If[n == 0, 1, Sum[Sum[d*(g[d-1]-If[d == 6, 1, 0]), {d, Divisors[j]} ]*g[n-j], {j, 1, n}]/n]; a[n_] := g[n-1]; Table[a[n], {n, 1, 35}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Feb 24 2015, after Alois P. Heinz *)

Formula

a(n) satisfies a=SHIFT_RIGHT(EULER(a-b)) where b(6)=1, b(k)=0 if k != 6.

a(n) ~ c * d^n / n^(3/2), where d = 2.95209316333202396584501452688304..., c = 0.43842619727838455589811980703038... . - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 25 2014
