A060187(n,k) = Sum_{j=1..k} (-1)^(k-j) * binomial(n,k-j) * (2*j-1)^(n-1).

Note that exp( Sum_{n>=1} [ Sum_{k=0..n} A060187(n+1,k+1) * x^k ] / (1-x)^(n+1) * x^n/n ) does not yield an integer series.

Conjecture: a(n)^(1/n^2) tends to 3^(1/4). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 17 2020

Formula

G.f.: exp( Sum_{n>=1} [ Sum_{k=0..n} A060187(n+1,k+1) * x^k ]^n / (1-x)^(n^2+n) * x^n/n ), where A060187 are the Eulerian numbers of type B.

The logarithm of g.f. A(x) equals the series:
log(A(x)) = Sum_{n>=1} (x + 3^n*x^2 + 5^n*x^3 +...+ (2*k-1)^n*x^k +...)^n/n,
or,
log(A(x)) = (x + 3*x^2 + 5*x^3 + 7*x^4 + 9*x^5 +...) +
