FORMULA
a(n) = Stirling2(n,3) - (1/n) * Sum_{k=1..n-1} binomial(n,k) * Stirling2(n-k,3) * k * a(k).
a(n) ~ -(n-1)! * 2^(n+1) * cos(n*arctan(2*arctan(3^(5/6)/(2^(2/3) + 3^(1/3))) / log(1 + 6^(1/3) + 6^(2/3)))) / (4*arctan(3^(5/6)/(2^(2/3) + 3^(1/3)))^2 + log(1 + 6^(1/3) + 6^(2/3))^2)^(n/2). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 09 2021
