FORMULA
a(0) = 1; a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} binomial(n,k) * Stirling2(k,4) * a(n-k).
a(n) ~ n! / (4*(1 + 2^(-3/4)*3^(-1/4)) * log(1 + 2^(3/4)*3^(1/4))^(n+1)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 08 2021
From Seiichi Manyama, May 07 2022: (Start)
G.f.: Sum_{k>=0} (4*k)! * x^(4*k)/(24^k * Product_{j=1..4*k} (1 - j * x)).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/4)} (4*k)! * Stirling2(n,4*k)/24^k. (End)
