FORMULA
|
Let b(n, i)=i/(n-i+1) and g(n, k)=s[ k ](b(n, 1), b(n, 2), ..., b(n, n)), where s[ k ] is the k-th elementary symmetric function; a(n) = (2n-1)^2 * (2n-2)! * [ g(2n-2, n-1) - g(2n-2, n) ].
a(n) = [x^n] (1-x)*Product_{j=0..2n-1}(2n-1-j+j*x). [Van der Waerden]
a(n) ~ sqrt(27/Pi) * (2*n-1)^(2*n-3/2) * (1-9/(8*n)+O(1/n^2)). - Gheorghe Coserea, Jul 28 2016
