FORMULA
From G. C. Greubel, Aug 29 2023: (Start)
a(n) = Product_{j=1..n} Gamma(2*j+2)/(Gamma(j)*Gamma(j+3)).
a(n) = (2/sqrt(Pi))*( 2^(n+1)^2 * BarnesG(n+5/2) /(Pi^(n/2) * Gamma(n+2)*Gamma(n+3)*BarnesG(3/2)*BarnesG(n+1)) ).
a(n) = (BarnesG(n+2)/(2^n * BarnesG(n+1))) * Product_{j=1..n} Catalan(j+1). (End)
a(n) ~ A^(3/2) * 2^(n^2 + 2*n + 41/24) * exp(n/2 - 1/8) / (n^(n/2 + 23/8) * Pi^(n/2 + 1)), where A is the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant A074962. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 19 2023
a(n) = Product_{1 <= j <= i <= n-1} (i + j + 3)/(i - j + 1). - Peter Bala, Oct 25 2024
