Programs

Maple

b:= proc(n, m) option remember; `if`(n=0, 1,
      add(b(n-1, max(m, j)), j=1..m+8))
    end:
a:= n-> b(n, -7):
seq(a(n), n=0..25);
# second Maple program:
a:= n-> `if`(n=0, 1, (n-1)!*coeff(series(exp(x+add(
           (exp(j*x)-1)/j, j=1..8)), x, n), x, n-1)):
seq(a(n), n=0..25);

Formula

a(n) = (n-1)! * [x^(n-1)] exp(x+Sum_{j=1..8} (exp(j*x)-1)/j) for n>0, a(0) = 1.
