FORMULA
a(n) = Product_{k=0..n} (2*(k+1)*(2*k+1))^(n-k). - Paul Barry, Jan 28 2008
G.f.: G(0)/(2*x)-1/x, where G(k)= 1 + 1/(1 - 1/(1 + 1/(2*k+2)!/x/G(k+1))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jun 14 2013
a(n) ~ 2^(n^2+2*n+17/24) * n^(n^2+3*n/2+11/24) * Pi^((n+1)/2) / (A^(1/2) * exp(3*n^2/2+3*n/2-1/24)), where A = 1.2824271291... is the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant (see A074962). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 13 2014
a(n) = A^(3/2)*2^(n^2+n-1/24)*Pi^(-n/2-1/4)*G(n+3/2)*G(n+2)/exp(1/8), where G(n) is the Barnes G-function and A is the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Dec 11 2016
