FORMULA
G.f.: Sum_{n>=0} [ Sum_{k=0..[n/2]} binomial(n,2*k) * x^(2*k) ]^n / 2^(n+1).
a(n) ~ c * d^n * n!^2 / n, where d = 37.4848548470528901759474480740698513182712... and c = 0.1647617452257182061114277957479516654825... - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 07 2020
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + 5*x^2 + 418*x^4 + 97248*x^6 + 44494788*x^8 + 33701146040*x^10 + 38158722166012*x^12 + 60370440881763184*x^14 + ...
such that
A(x) = 1/2 + ((1+x) + (1-x))/2^3 + ((1+x)^2 + (1-x)^2)^2/2^5 + ((1+x)^3 + (1-x)^3)^3/2^7 + ((1+x)^4 + (1-x)^4)^4/2^9 + ((1+x)^5 + (1-x)^5)^5/2^11 + ...
Equivalently,
A(x) = 1/2 + 1/2^2 + (1 + x^2)^2/2^3 + (1 + 3*x^2)^3/2^4 + (1 + 6*x^2 + x^4)^4/2^5 + (1 + 10*x^2 + 5*x^4)^5/2^6 + (1 + 15*x^2 + 15*x^4 + x^6)^6/2^7 + ...
