Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..[n/2]} (n-k)! * Stirling2(n, n-k) * binomial(n-k, k) * 2^(n-2*k).

a(n) ~ c * d^n * n! / sqrt(n), where d = 2*r^2/(2*r-1) + (2*r-1)*r/(2*(1-r)) = 3.36074272900128370245729732045120604190737486342012..., where r = 0.80276231206743119172295651485200150958072822575039811732... is the root of the equation (r + (1-2*r)^2/(4*(1-r))) * LambertW(-exp(-1/r)/r) = -1, and c = 0.533888836381702228067397487907088688592161798613354080016... . - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 05 2014
