COMMENTS

Like A001142, the lim n->inf (a(n)a(n+2))/a(n+1)^2 = e, demonstrating an underlying relation between A003506 and Pascal's triangle A007318. Unlike A001142, in this case the function is asymptotic from above.

FORMULA

a(n) = n!product[k^(2k-n-1), {k, 1, n}]

a(n) = product[product[(1-1/k)^-k, {k, 2, j}], {j, 1, n}]

Also,

a(1) = 1; a(n) = a(n-1)product[(1-1/k)^-k, {k, 2, n}]

EXAMPLE

For n=3, row 3 of A003506 = {3, 6, 3} and a[3]=54.

MATHEMATICA

Table[n! Product[k^(2 k - n - 1), {k, 1, n}], {n, 1, 12}]

Table[Product[Product[(1 - 1/k)^-k, {k, 2, j}], {j, 1, n}], {n, 1, 12}]

Also,

a[1] = 1; a[n_] := a[n - 1] Product[(1 - 1/k)^-k, {k, 2, n}]

CROSSREFS

Cf. A003506, A001142, A007318. Begin with the second value of A001142:

a(n-1) = (n-1)!A001142, n>=2
