Formula

a(n) ~ c * exp(-1/4) * 2^(n^2 - n/2) * n^(n/2) / Pi^(n/2), where c = Sum_{k = -infinity..infinity} exp(-2*k*(k-1)) = exp(1/2) * sqrt(Pi/2) * EllipticTheta(3, -Pi/2, exp(-Pi^2/2)) = 2.036643566277677716389243890291939003151565... if n is even and c = Sum_{k = -infinity..infinity} exp(-2*k^2 + 1/2) = exp(1/2) * EllipticTheta(3, 0, exp(-2)) = 2.096087809957308346119920713317351288828811... if n is odd.
