Define a polynomial sequence P_n(x) recursively by
... P_0(x) = 1,
... P_n(x) = (x-1)*P_(n-1)(x-1) + n*P_(n-1)(x+1) for n >= 1.
The first few polynomials are
P_1(x) = x;
P_2(x) = x^2 + 3;
P_3(x) = x^3 + 12*x + 8.
It appears that a(n+1) = P_n(1) (checked as far as a(19)).

E.g.f. satisfies: A(x) = 1 + Integral 1/(1 - x*A(x)) dx.
a(n) ~ n^(n-1) * s^n / exp(n), where s = 2.0832144900084392272885741721727173082215... is the root of the equation sqrt(Pi/2)*s*exp(-s^2/2)*(erfi(1/sqrt(2)) - erfi(s/sqrt(2))) = -1. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Feb 23 2014
a(0) = 1, a(1) = 1, a(n) = Sum_{0 < k < n} k * binomial(n-1, k) * a(k) * a(n-k-1). - Vladimir Reshetnikov, May 17 2016
