Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..300
FORMULA
E.g.f. A(x) satisfies A(x) = 1/(exp(-x*A(x)) - (x*A(x))^2).
a(n) = n! * Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} (n+k+1)^(n-2*k-1) * binomial(n+k+1,k)/(n-2*k)!.
a(n) ~ (1-s)^(n+1) * n^(n-1) / (sqrt(3*(2-s^2)) * exp(n) * s^(3*n+2) * (2+s)^(n + 1/2)), where s = 0.3772780694472368061779151526950759272644649184306... is the root of the equation s + 3*exp(s)*s^2 = 1. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jan 31 2026
