More generally, we have the following identity. Given the biexponential series
W(x,y) = Sum_{n>=0} 1/n! * Product_{k=1..n} (n+1-k)*x + k*y,
then for fixed p and q,
Sum_{n>=0} 1/n! * Product_{k=1..n} (n+1-k + p)*x + (k + q)*y = W(x,y)^(p+q+1) / ( (1 + x*W(x,y))^q * (1 + y*W(x,y))^p ).
Further, W(x,y) satisfies the biexponential functional equation
( W(x,y)/(1 + x*W(x,y)) )^x = ( W(x,y)/(1 + y*W(x,y)) )^y.

FORMULA
E.g.f. A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n/n! satisfies:
(1) A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} (2*x)^n/n! * Product_{k=1..n} (n+1-k) + k*x.
(2) Sum_{n>=0} (2*x)^n/n! * Product_{k=1..n} (n+1-k + p) + (k + q)*x = A(x)^(p+q+1) / ( (1 + 2*x*A(x))^q * (1 + 2*x^2*A(x))^p ), for fixed p and q.
(3) A(x)/(1 + 2*x*A(x)) = ( A(x)/(1 + 2*x^2*A(x)) )^x.
a(n)/n! ~ c * d^n / sqrt(n), where d = 3.346513389529679772056152566067040813392... and c = 1.06774499146514892068040233... - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 18 2018
The constant d given above is the root of the equation d^(d-2) = 2^(d-1). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jan 17 2024

And,
A(x)^3/((1 + 2*x*A(x))*(1 + 2*x^2*A(x))) = 1 + (2 + 2*x)*(2*x) + (3 + 2*x)*(2 + 3*x)*(2*x)^2/2! + (4 + 2*x)*(3 + 3*x)*(2 + 4*x)*(2*x)^3/3! + (5 + 2*x)*(4 + 3*x)*(3 + 4*x)*(2 + 5*x)*(2*x)^4/4! + (6 + 2*x)*(5 + 3*x)*(4 + 4*x)*(3 + 5*x)*(2 + 6*x)*(2*x)^5/5! + ...
