FORMULA

a(n) = C(0)*C(1)*...*C(n), C() = A000108 = Catalan numbers.
a(n) = sqrt((2^n)*A069640(n)/(2*n+1)!/n!), n>0, where A069640(n) is an inverse determinant of the n X n Hilbert-like Matrix with elements M(i,j)=1/(i+j+1). - Alexander Adamchuk, May 17 2006
a(n) ~ A^(3/2) * 2^(n^2 + n - 19/24) * exp(3*n/2 - 1/8) / (n^(3*n/2 + 15/8) * Pi^(n/2+1)), where A = 1.2824271291... is the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant (see A074962). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 13 2014
a(n) = A^(3/2)*2^(n^2 + n - 1/24)*BarnesG(n+3/2) / (exp(1/8)*Pi^(n/2 + 1/4)*BarnesG(n+3)), where BarnesG( ) is the Barnes G-function and A is the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant (A074962). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Mar 16 2017
