COMMENTS
Conjecture: Let p be prime. The sequence obtained by reducing a(n) modulo p for n >= 1 is purely periodic with period p - 1. For example, modulo 7 the sequence becomes [1, 1, 6, 1, 0, 4, 1, 1, 6, 1, 0, 4, 1, 1, 6, 1, 0, 4 ...], with an apparent period of 6. - Peter Bala, Jun 01 2022

FORMULA
E.g.f.: Sum_{n>=0} (exp(2*n*x) - 1)^n / (exp(2*n*x) + 1)^n.
a(n) ~ c * 2^n * (n!)^2 / (sqrt(n) * (log(1+sqrt(2)))^(2*n)), where c = 0.521427744491499132141002572969819345522922990165233786929882335275903215... - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 05 2014, updated Jun 02 2022
EXAMPLE
E.g.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 8*x^2/2! + 160*x^3/3! + 5888*x^4/4! + 345856*x^5/5! +...
where
A(x) = 1 + tanh(x) + tanh(2*x)^2 + tanh(3*x)^3 + tanh(4*x)^4 + tanh(5*x)^5 +...
