COMMENTS
Conjecture: Let p be prime. The sequence obtained by reducing a(n) modulo p for n >= 1 is purely periodic with period p - 1. For example, modulo 7 the sequence becomes [1, 1, 6, 1, 0, 4, 1, 1, 6, 1, 0, 4, 1, 1, 6, 1, 0, 4 ...], with an apparent period of 6. - Peter Bala, Jun 01 2022

FORMULA
E.g.f.: Sum_{n>=0} (exp(2*n*x) - 1)^n / (exp(2*n*x) + 1)^n.
a(n) ~ c * 2^n * (n!)^2 / (sqrt(n) * (log(1+sqrt(2)))^(2*n)), where c = 0.521427744491499132141002572969819345522922990165233786929882335275903215... - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 05 2014, updated Jun 02 2022
