FORMULA
a(n) = b(2*n+1) where b(n) = sum(m=1..n, (((-1)^(m-1)+1)*(sum(j=1..m, j! *2^(m-j-1)*(-1)^((m+1)/2+j)*S2(m,j)))*sum(k=m..n,(((-1)^(k-m)+1)*(sum(j=m..k, C(j-1,m-1)*j!*2^(k-j-1)*S2(k,j)*(-1)^((m+k)/2+j)))*((-1)^(n-k)+1)* sum(j=k,n, C(j-1,k-1)*j!*2^(n-j-1)* (-1)^((n+k)/2+j)* S2(n,j)))/k!))/m!). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Apr 23 2011
a(n) ~ 8*(2*n+1)!/((4+Pi^2) * (1+arctan(Pi/2)^2) * (arctan(arctan(Pi/2)))^(2*n+2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Feb 16 2015
