Formula

a(n) = binomial(n,2)*A292932(n-2) for n >= 2.

E.g.f.: x^2/(3 - 2*exp(x) + x)/2. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 05 2019

a(n) ~ n! / (2*(r-1) * (r-3)^(n-1)), where r = -LambertW(-1, -2*exp(-3)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 05 2019

Mathematica

nmax = 20; Rest[CoefficientList[Series[x^2/(3 - 2*E^x + x)/2, {x, 0, nmax}], x] * Range[0, nmax]!] (* Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 05 2019 *)
