Examples

			L.g.f.: L(x) = x + 3*x^2/2 + 10*x^3/3 + 59*x^4/4 + 726*x^5/5 +...
which equals the series:
  L(x) = (1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4 + x^5 + x^6 +...)*x
  + (1 + 2^2*x +  3^2*x^2 +  4^2*x^3 +   5^2*x^4 +   6^2*x^5 + ...)*x^2/2
  + (1 + 3^3*x +  6^3*x^2 + 10^3*x^3 +  15^3*x^4 +  21^3*x^5 + ...)*x^3/3
  + (1 + 4^4*x + 10^4*x^2 + 20^4*x^3 +  35^4*x^4 +  56^4*x^5 + ...)*x^4/4
  + (1 + 5^5*x + 15^5*x^2 + 35^5*x^3 +  70^5*x^4 + 126^5*x^5 + ...)*x^5/5
  + (1 + 6^6*x + 21^6*x^2 + 56^6*x^3 + 126^6*x^4 + 252^6*x^5 + ...)*x^6/6
  + (1 + 7^7*x + 28^7*x^2 + 84^7*x^3 + 210^7*x^4 + 462^7*x^5 + ...)*x^7/7 + ...
Exponentiation yields the g.f. of A181076:
  exp(L(x)) = 1 + x + 2*x^2 + 5*x^3 + 20*x^4 + 168*x^5 + 3659*x^6 + ... + A181076(n)*x^n + ...
