FORMULA
E.g.f.: exp(x + (exp(9*x) - 1)/9).
G.f.: 1/W(0), where W(k) = 1 - x - x/(1 - 9*(k+1)*x/W(k+1) ); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 07 2014
a(n) = exp(-1/9) * Sum_{k>=0} (9*k + 1)^n / (9^k * k!). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Apr 16 2020
a(n) ~ 9^(n + 1/9) * n^(n + 1/9) * exp(n/LambertW(9*n) - n - 1/9) / (sqrt(1 + LambertW(9*n)) * LambertW(9*n)^(n + 1/9)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 26 2022
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1 + 2*x + 13*x^2 + 143*x^3 + 1852*x^4 + 27563*x^5 + ...
