[seqfan] Re: Constants from LambertW-Like Sum

[Paul D Hanna]

SeqFans, 
     Now I see that     G(t)  =  1/(1 - t*L(t)). 
 
Thus 
 
Sum_{n>=0} (x + n*t)^n * exp(-n*t) / n!  =  exp(L(t)*x) / (1 - t*L(t)). 
 
It would be interesting to find some series for L(t). 
 
There may be an interesting sequence of coefficients there ...

Seqfans, 
       Consider the sum:  Sum_{n>=0} (x + n*t)^n * exp(-n*t) / n!.  
 
Given |t| < 1, then we can state 
Sum_{n>=0} (x + n*t)^n * exp(-n*t) / n!  =  exp(x) / (1-t). 
 
At |t| = 1, the sum diverges. 
 
When t > 1, it gets more interesting.  
Then there exists constants G(t) and L(t) such that 
 
Sum_{n>=0} (x + n*t)^n * exp(-n*t) / n!  =  G(t)*exp(L(t)*x). 
 
Can the constants shown below be expressed in terms of known constants? 
 
Better yet, can one express G(t) and L(t) as power series in t? 
  
Thanks, 
      Paul
