FORMULA
E.g.f.: A(x) = Series_Reversion( exp(x) - exp(x^2) ).
a(n) = -sum(k=1..n-1, (k^n/n!+(k^(n/2)*(-1)^k*((-1)^n+1))/(2*(n/2)!)+sum(j=1..k-1, (-1)^(k-j)*binomial(k,j)*sum(m=1..n, (j^(2*m-n)*(k-j)^(n-m)*binomial(m,n-m))/m!)))*a(k)), n>1, a(1)=1. - Vladimir Kruchinin, Jun 25 2011
a(n) ~ n^(n-1) * sqrt((2*s-1)/(2-2*s+4*s^2)) / (exp(1+s)*(1-1/(2*s)))^n, where s = 0.6310764773894916166238... is the root of the equation exp(s) = 2*s*exp(s^2). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jan 06 2014
