Lim_{n -> inf} (a(n)*a(n+2))/a(n+1)^2 = e^2. Like A168510, this limit is asymptotic from above.

FORMULA
a(n)=product[product[((k + 1)/(k - 1))^k, {k, 2, j}], {j, 1, n}].
a(n) ~ A^4 * exp(n^2 + 2*n + 5/6) / (n^(2/3) * 2^(2*n+1) * Pi^(n+1)), where A = A074962 = 1.2824271291... is the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 11 2015
EXAMPLE
For n=3, row 3 of A132818 = {6,18,6} and a(3)=648.
