Alois P. Heinz, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..100
FORMULA
a(n) is coefficient of x^n in expansion of n!^3*(1+x/1!^3+x^2/2!^3+x^3/3!^3+...+x^n/n!^3)^n.
a(n) ~ c * d^n * (n!)^3 / sqrt(n), where d = 1.74218173246413..., c = 0.5728782413434... . - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 20 2014
a(n) = (n!)^3 * [z^n] hypergeom([], [1, 1], z)^n. - Peter Luschny, May 31 2017
