FORMULA

a(n) = A048993(2n,n). - R. J. Mathar, Mar 15 2011

Asymptotic: a(n) ~ (4*n/(e*z*(2-z)))^n/sqrt(2*pi*n*(z-1)), where z=1.59362426... is a root of the equation exp(z)*(2-z)=2. [Vaclav Kotesovec, May 30 2011]

a(n) = sum(binomial(n,k)*(-1)^k*(n-k)^(2*n),k,0,n)/n! [Emanuele Munarini, Jul 1 2011]

MAPLE

A007820 := proc(n) combinat[stirling2](2*n, n) ; end proc:

seq(A007820(n), n=1..20) ; # R. J. Mathar, Mar 15 2011

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=stirling(2*n, n, 2); /* Joerg Arndt, Jul 01 2011 */

CROSSREFS

Chan and Manna prove that a(n) is odd if and only if n is in A003714. [From Jason Kimberley (Jason.Kimberley(AT)newcastle.edu.au), Sep 14 2009]
