FORMULA
a(n) ~ sqrt(1-c) * 2^(2*n - 1) * n^(n - 1/2) / (sqrt(Pi) * c^(n - 1/2) * (2-c)^n * exp(n)), where c = -A226775 = -LambertW(-2*exp(-2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 31 2020
EXAMPLE
O.g.f.: A(x) = 1 + 2*x^2 + 24*x^3 + 436*x^4 + 10656*x^5 + 328112*x^6 + 12183456*x^7 + 529242224*x^8 + 26309617536*x^9 + 1472135847072*x^10 + ...
ILLUSTRATION OF DEFINITION.
The table of coefficients of x^k/k! in exp(n*(n-1)*x) / A(x) begins:
n=0: [1, 0, -4, -144, -10368, -1267200, -234576000, -61085767680, ...];

n=2: [1, 2, 0, -160, -11600, -1376928, -250428416, -64479262720, ...];
n=3: [1, 6, 32, 0, -13392, -1630944, -286447104, -71981250048, ...];
n=4: [1, 12, 140, 1440, 0, -1916928, -351444096, -85338800640, ...];

in which the main diagonal is all zeros after the initial term, illustrating that [x^n] exp( n*(n-1)*x ) / A(x) = 0 for n>=0.
LOGARITHMIC DERIVATIVE.
The logarithmic derivative of A(x) yields the o.g.f. of A304316:
A'(x)/A(x) = 4*x + 72*x^2 + 1736*x^3 + 53040*x^4 + 1961728*x^5 + 85062432*x^6 + 4225904800*x^7 + 236455369344*x^8 + 14705880874944*x^9 + 1005982098054912*x^10 + ... + A304316(n)*x^n + ...
