Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..200
FORMULA
a(n) = n!*Sum_{k=1..n} (-1)^(n-k)*n^(n-k-1)*binomial(2*(k-1),k-1)/(n-k)!.
a(n) ~ (4/exp(5/4))^n / sqrt(10) * n^(n-1). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 27 2012
E.g.f.: LambertW(x)/(1 - LambertW(x)/(1 - LambertW(x)/(1 - LambertW(x)/(1 - ...)))), a continued fraction. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Nov 19 2017
