Inspired by A015013.
FORMULA
a(n) = abs(A015013(n)).
a(n) ~ c * 2^(n*(n+1)/2) / 3^n, where c = QPochhammer(-2, 1/4)*QPochhammer(1/4)/3 = 1.21072413030105918013617285610590504636804163112313764347615924554000... - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 04 2021, updated Jul 19 2021
Equivalently, c = QPochhammer(-1/2). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Sep 24 2023
EXAMPLE
a(4) = 15 because a(4) = 1*1*3*5 = 15.
