Is there a closed form to the sum $$ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^n}{n!}n^p, $$ where $p$ is a positive integer? I know that for $p = 1$ the series sums to $xe^x$, but not sure if there's a simple expression for $p > 1$. If there isn't a closed form, is this series related to any special functions? Thanks!
