COMMENT

Limit_{n->inf} n*n!/a(n) = 6*c = 0.1140186893... where c = 6*exp(psi(1/6)+EulerGamma) = 0.0190031148...(A097671), and EulerGamma is the Euler-Mascheroni constant (A001620), and psi() is the Digamma function (see Mathworld link).

FORMULA

For n>=6: a(n) = 6*a(n-1) + n!/(n-6)!*a(n-6); for n<6: a(n)=6^n. E.g.f.: 1/(1-x^6)*(1+x)/(1-x)*sqrt((1+x+x^2)/(1-x+x^2))* exp(sqrt(3)*atan(sqrt(3)*x/(1-x^2))).

EXAMPLE

The sequence {1, 6, 36/2!, 216/3!, 1296/4!, 7776/5!, 47376/6!,...} is generated by a recursion described by Benoit Cloitre's generalized Euler-Gauss formula for the Gamma function (see Cloitre link).

PROGRAM

(PARI) {a(n)=n!*polcoeff(1/(1-x^6)*exp(6*sum(i=0, n, x^(6*i+1)/(6*i+1)))+x*O(x^n), n)}

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<0, 0, if(n==0, 1, 6*a(n-1)+if(n<6, 0, n!/(n-6)!*a(n-6))))
