FORMULA
a(n) = 4^(2*(n-1)^2) * Product_{1<=i,j<=n-1} (1 - cos(i*Pi/(2*n))^2 * cos(j*Pi/(2*n))^2).
a(n) = 4^(2*(n-1)^2) * Product_{1<=i,j<=n-1} (1 - sin(i*Pi/(2*n))^2 * cos(j*Pi/(2*n))^2).
a(n) ~ Gamma(1/4) * exp(8*G*n^2/Pi) / (Pi^(3/4) * sqrt(n) * 2^(6*n - 2)), where G is Catalan's constant A006752. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jan 05 2021
