Table of n, a(n) for n=0..15.

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} (-1)^(n-k-1) * binomial(n-1,k) * (k+1)^(2*n) for n>0 with a(0)=1.

a(n) = (n-1)! * Stirling2(2*n+1, n) for n>0 with a(0)=1.

a(n) = (2*n+1)!/n * [x^(2*n+1)] (exp(x) - 1)^n for n>0 with a(0)=1.

a(n) ~ 2^(2*n+1) * n^(2*n) / (sqrt(1-c) * exp(2*n) * c^n * (2-c)^(n+1)), where c = -LambertW(-2*exp(-2)) = 0.4063757399599599... (see A226775). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 05 2014

Example

G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 15*x^2 + 602*x^3 + 46620*x^4 + 5921520*x^5 +...
where
A(x) = 1 + x/(1+x) + 4^2*x^2/(1+4*x)^2 + 9^3*x^3/(1+9*x)^3 + 16^4*x^4/(1+16*x)^4 + 25^5*x^5/(1+25*x)^5 + 36^6*x^6/(1+36*x)^6 + 49^7*x^7/(1+49*x)^7 +...
