FORMULA
E.g.f.: exp( Sum_{n>=0} 2*(2*n+1)^(2*n) * x^(2*n+1)/(2*n+1)! ).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} -(-1)^k*C(n,k) * (k-1)^(k-1) * (n-k+1)^(n-k-1).
a(n) ~ c * n^(n-1), where c = (1-LambertW(exp(-1))^2)/LambertW(exp(-1)) = 3.31265693390754834... if n is even and c = (1+LambertW(exp(-1))^2)/ LambertW(exp(-1)) = 3.86958601942969593... if n is odd. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 27 2012
EXAMPLE
E.g.f.: A(x) = 1 + 2*x + 4*x^2/2! + 26*x^3/3! + 160*x^4/4! + 2002*x^5/5! +... such that A(x) = -LambertW(-x)/LambertW(x) where LambertW(x) = x - 2*x^2/2! + 9*x^3/3! - 64*x^4/4! + 625*x^5/5! - 7776*x^6/6! + 117649*x^7/7! - 2097152*x^8/8! +...+ (-n)^(n-1)*x^n/n! +... .
Related expansions: log(A(x)) = 2*x + 18*x^3/3! + 1250*x^5/5! + 235298*x^7/7! + 86093442*x^9/9! +...+ 2*(2*n+1)^(2*n)*x^(2*n+1)/(2*n+1)! +...
