FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} 6^k*A048993(n,k); A048993: Stirling2 numbers.
G.f.: 6*(x/(1-x))*A(x/(1-x)) = A(x)-1; six times the binomial transform equals this sequence shifted one place left.
E.g.f.: exp(6(e^x-1)).
G.f.: T(0)/(1-6*x), where T(k) = 1 - 6*x^2*(k+1)/(6*x^2*(k+1) - (1-6*x-x*k)*(1-7*x-x*k)/T(k+1) ); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Dec 04 2013
a(n) ~ n^n * exp(n/LambertW(n/6)-6-n) / (sqrt(1+LambertW(n/6)) * LambertW(n/6)^n). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 12 2014
G.f.: Sum_{j>=0} 6^j*x^j / Product_{k=1..j} (1 - k*x). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Apr 07 2019
