FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A077957(k)*Stirling2(n,k).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} 2^k*Stirling2(n,2*k).
a(n) = (Bell_n(sqrt(2)) + Bell_n(-sqrt(2)))/2, where Bell_n(x) is n-th Bell polynomial.
Bell_n(sqrt(2)) = a(n) + A264037(n)*sqrt(2).
E.g.f.: cosh(sqrt(2)*(exp(x) - 1)).
a(n) = 1; a(n) = 2 * Sum_{k=0..n-1} binomial(n-1, k) * A264037(k). - Seiichi Manyama, Oct 12 2022
a(n) ~ n^n / (2 * sqrt(1 + LambertW(n/sqrt(2))) * exp(n + sqrt(2) - n/LambertW(n/sqrt(2))) * LambertW(n/sqrt(2))^n). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Feb 16 2026
