FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} k! * C(n, k) * (n*k)^(n-k). - David Einstein, Oct 10 2016
a(n) = n! * [x^n] 1/(1 - x*exp(n*x)). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Nov 26 2017
log(a(n)) ~ log(sqrt(2*Pi) * n^(2*n - n/LambertW(exp(1)*n) + 1/2) / (LambertW(exp(1)*n) * exp(n/LambertW(exp(1)*n)) * (LambertW(exp(1)*n) - 1)^(n*(1 - 1/LambertW(exp(1)*n))))). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Feb 20 2022
More precise asymptotics: a(n) ~ sqrt(2*Pi) * (w^2 - w - 1 + 2/w) * exp(n*(1/w^3 - 1/w)) * n^(2*n + n/w^3 - n/w + 1/2) * (w^2 - 1)^(n*(1 + 1/w^3 - 1/w)) * (1 - w^2 + w^3)^(n/w - n - n/w^3 - 1), where w = LambertW(exp(1)*n). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Feb 23 2022
