cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

          add(b(n-j, i-1)*binomial(n, j)^3/j!, j=0..n)))

  • Mathematica
    b[n_, i_] := b[n, i] = If[n == 0, 1, If[i<1, 0, Sum[b[n-j, i-1]*Binomial[n, j]^3 /j!, {j, 0, n}]]]; a[n_] := n!*b[n, n]; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 20}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Feb 24 2015, after Alois P. Heinz *)

Formula

a(n) is coefficient of x^n in expansion of n!^4*(1+x/1!^4+x^2/2!^4+x^3/3!^4+...+x^n/n!^4)^n.
a(n) ~ c * d^n * (n!)^4 / sqrt(n), where d = 1.511958716403..., c = 0.6632048858... . - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 20 2014
