Posted to sci.math:
I am guessing that....
If a(m) =
sum{k=1 to m} binomial(m,k) k^(m+1-k),
then we have a(m) is
the m_th derivative of
x*exp(x(1+e^x))
at x = 0,
ie. sum{k=1 to oo} a(k) x^k /k!
= x(exp(x(1+e^x))).
This sequence {a(k)} begins: 1, 4, 18, 92, ...
Does this sequence have a simpler representation?
Now a(m)/m is simply sequence A080108 in the EIS.
But I am unsure if my particular sequence is in the EIS.
By the way, x(exp(x(1+e^x))) =
f(f(x)) if f(x) = x*exp(x),
ie. sum{k=1 to oo} a(k) (W(W(x))^k /k! = x.
(W(x) is the Lambert function, of course.)
Is there an easy way to get a(n,m), where
sum{k=1 to oo} a(n,k) x^k /k! =
f(f(...f(x)..)) (with n f's)
if f(x) = x exp(x)?
Thanks,
