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 * 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

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 * (1-x)^n/n,
or,
log(A(x)) = (x + 3*x^2 + 5*x^3 + 7*x^4 + 9*x^5 +...) * (1-x) +
(x + 3^2*x^2 + 5^2*x^3 + 7^2*x^4 + 9^2*x^5 +...)^2 * (1-x)^2/2 +

(x + 3^4*x^2 + 5^4*x^3 + 7^4*x^4 + 9^4*x^5 +...)^4 * (1-x)^4/4 + ...
This logarithmic series can be written using the Eulerian numbers of type B like so:
log(A(x)) = (x + x^2) / (1-x) +
