Formula

Sum_{n>=0} a(n)/(2n)!*x^n = (1 - x)^(-1/x) / e.

a(n) = A055505(n)*(2n)! / A055535(n).

a(n) = (-1)^n * Sum_{k=0..n} Stirling1(n+k, k) * !(n-k) * C(2*n, n+k), where !n = A000166(n) is the subfactorial, C(n,k) are binomial coefficients. - Vladimir Reshetnikov, Sep 23 2016

a(n) = (2*n)! * coefficients of Product_{j >= 2} exp(x^(j-1)/j). - G. C. Greubel, Sep 14 2021

Example

G.f. = 1 + 1*x/2! + 11*x^2/4! + 315*x^3/6! + 17129*x^4/8! + 503475*x^5/10! + ...
