COMMENTS

As in A001142, 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=1..n} k^(2k-n-1).
a(n) = Product_{j=1..n} Product_{k=2..j} ((1-1/k)^-k).
a(1) = 1; a(n) = a(n-1)*Product_{k=2..n} ((1-1/k)^-k).
a(n) ~ A^2 * exp(n^2/2 - 1/12) * n^(n/2 + 1/6) / (2*Pi)^(n/2), where A is the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant A074962. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 22 2017
a(n) = Product_{k=0..n-1} (n-k)^(n-2k). - Peter Munn, Mar 07 2018

EXAMPLE
|
For n=3, row 3 of A003506 = {3, 6, 3} and a(3)=54.
a(5) = 5^5 * 4^3 * 3^1 * 2^-1 * 1^-3 = 5^5 * 3 * 2^5 = 300000. - Peter Munn, Mar 07 2018
