COMMENTS
R. J. Mathar's recurrence is correct. a(n) has a new sum term in addition to what a(n-1) has, giving a(n) = n*a(n-1) + 2^(n-1)*(n-1)!. (Cf. A000165 = 2^n*n!.) The same for a(n-1) from a(n-2), and a factor, is 2*(n-1)*(a(n-1) - (n-1)*a(n-2)) = 2^(n-1)*(n-1)! too. Substitute it leaving a(n) in terms of a(n-1) and a(n-2). The recurrence shows the o.g.f. satisfies the differential equation (2*x^2-x+1)*g + 3*x^2*(2*x-1)*g' + 2*x^4*g'' - x = 0. - Kevin Ryde, Jul 11 2019

FORMULA
From Vladeta Jovovic, Feb 13 2007: (Start)
a(n) = 2^(n-1)*A003149(n-1).
O.g.f.: x*(Sum_{k>=0} k!*(2*x)^k)^2.
E.g.f.: log(1-2*x)/(x-1)/2. (End)
E.g.f.: E(x) = 1/2*log(1 - 2*x)/(x - 1) = x*(1 - x*G(0))/(x-1)/(2*x-1); G(k) = 1 + 2*x*(2*k+1)/(2*k + 3 - 2*x*(k+1)*(2*k+3)/(2*x*(k+1) + (k+2)/G(k+1))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Dec 13 2011
G.f.: x*hypergeom([1,1],[],2*x)^2. - Mark van Hoeij, May 16 2013
Conjecture: a(n) + (-3*n+2)*a(n-1) + 2*(n-1)^2*a(n-2) = 0. - R. J. Mathar, May 23 2014
G.f.: x*(1/(1 - 2*x/(1 - 2*x/(1 - 4*x/(1 - 4*x/(1 - 6*x/(1 - 6*x/(1 - ...))))))))^2. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, May 10 2017
