Oct 30, 2019 at 16:24 comment added esg For $j=0$ the equality $\sum_{n\geq 0}n^j t^j=\frac{t A_j(t)}{(1-t)^{j+1}}$ uses the convention $0^0:=0$. With $0^0:=1$ you arrive at Fedor Petrov's result.
Oct 30, 2019 at 7:45 comment added Fedor Petrov You do not actually need Euler polynomials: for fixed $n$ we get $\sum_j (-e)^{-j}n^j t^j/j!=\exp(-nt/e)$, then summing by $n$ we have $\sum_n \exp(-nt/e)t^n=\sum_n (t\exp(-t/e))^n=1/(1-t\exp(-t/e))$, hm, this slightly differs from yours formula. Let's check the coefficients of $t^0$.
