FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} n! * (1 + 2*(n-k))^(k-1)/k! * C(n-1,n-k).
Let A(x)^m = Sum_{n>=0} a(n,m)*x^n/n!, then
a(n,m) = Sum_{k=0..n} n! * m*(m + 2*(n-k))^(k-1)/k! * C(n-1,n-k).
a(n) ~ n^(n-1) * (1+1/(2*c))^(n+1/2) / (2*sqrt(1+c) * exp(n) * c^n), where c = LambertW(1/sqrt(2)) = 0.450600515864833072257... . - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 15 2014
