COMMENTS
The asymptotic expansion of the higher order exponential integral E(x,m=6,n=1) ~ exp(-x)/x^6*(1 - 21/x + 322/x^2 - 4536/x^3 + 63273/x^4 - ...) leads to the sequence given above. See A163931 for E(x,m,n) information and A163932 for a Maple procedure for the asymptotic expansion. - Johannes W. Meijer, Oct 20 2009

FORMULA
Let P(n-1,X) = (X+1)(X+2)(X+3)...(X+n-1); then a(n) is the coefficient of X^5; or a(n) = P'''''(n-1,0)/5!. - Benoit Cloitre, May 09 2002 [Edited by Petros Hadjicostas, Jun 29 2020 to agree with the offset of 6]
E.g.f.: (-log(1-x))^6/6!.
a(n) is coefficient of x^(n+6) in (-log(1-x))^6, multiplied by (n+6)!/6!.
a(n) = det(|S(i+6,j+5)|, 1 <= i,j <= n-6), where S(n,k) are Stirling numbers of the second kind. - Mircea Merca, Apr 06 2013
a(n) = 3*(2*n - 7)*a(n-1) - 5*(3*n^2 - 24*n + 49)*a(n-2) + 10*(2*n - 9)*(n^2 - 9*n + 21)*a(n-3) - (15*n^4 - 300*n^3 + 2265*n^2 - 7650*n + 9751)*a(n-4) + (2*n - 11)*(n^2 - 11*n + 31)*(3*n^2 - 33*n + 91)*a(n-5) - (n-6)^6*a(n-6). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Feb 24 2025
