COMMENTS
The asymptotic expansion of the higher-order exponential integral E(x,m=1,n=6) ~ exp(-x)/x*(1 - 6/x + 42/x^2 - 336/x^3 + 3024/x^4 - 30240/x^5 + 332640/x^6 - 3991680/x^7 + ...) leads to the sequence given above. See A163931 and A130534 for more information. - Johannes W. Meijer, Oct 20 2009

Sum_{n>=5} 1/a(n) = 120*e - 325.
Sum_{n>=5} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 45 - 120/e. (End)
