Abstract:
      It is shown that Howard's degenerate weighted Stirling numbers can be used to construct a fruitful summation formula for a class of formal power series involving generalized factorials. This is achieved with the aid of a series-transformation formula due to He, Hsu and Shiue, and several identities involving generalized Stirling numbers and Bell numbers are given to illustrate the application of the formula obtained.
