COMMENTS
Equals invariant column vector V that satisfies matrix product A100861*V = V, where Bessel numbers A100861(n,k) = n!/[k!(n-2k)!*2^k] give the number of k-matchings of the complete graph K(n).
Equals Lim_{n->inf.} A144299^n, if A144299 is considered an infinite lower triangular matrix. - Gary W. Adamson, Dec 08 2008

FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..[n/2]} n!/[k!*(n-2*k)!*2^k] * a(k), with a(0)=1. a(n) = Sum_{k=0..[n/2]} A100861(n,k)*a(k), with a(0)=1.
EXAMPLE
E.g.f. A(x) = exp( x + x^2/2 + x^4/2^3 + x^8/2^7 + x^16/2^15 +...)
= 1 + 1*x + 2*x^2/2! + 4*x^3/3! + 13*x^4/4! + 41*x^5/5!+ 166*x^6/6!+...
Using coefficients A100861(n,k) = n!/[k!(n-2k)!*2^k]:
a(5) = 1*a(0) +10*a(1) +15*a(2) = 1*1 +10*1 +15*2 = 41.
a(6) = 1*a(0) +15*a(1) +45*a(2) +15*a(3) = 1*1 +15*1 +45*2 +15*4 = 166.
