%C From _Petros Hadjicostas_, Sep 08 2019: (Start)

%C We generalize _Daniel Suteu_'s recurrence from A212856. Notice first that, in the notation of Abramson and Promislow (1978), we have a(n) = R(m=4, n, t=0).

%C Letting y=0 in Eq. (8), p. 249, of Abramson and Promislow (1978), we get 1 + Sum_{n >= 1} R(m,n,t=0)*x^n/(n!)^m = 1/f(-x), where f(x) = Sum_{i >= 0} (x^i/(i!)^m). Matching coefficients, we get Sum_{s = 1..n} R(m, s, t=0) * (-1)^(s-1) * binomial(n,s)^m = 1, from which the recurrence in the Formula section follows.
