From L. Edson Jeffery, Jan 09 2012: (Start)
The reference [Bergeron, et al.] lists the first few terms of the relevant series as S(x) = x + (1/2)*x^3 + (5/8)*x^5 + (49/48)*x^7 + (243/128)*x^9 + ..., from which the denominators were taken for this sequence and the numerators for A058927. This leads to the following
Conjecture: S(x) = Sum_{n>=0} ((2*n+1)^(n-1)/(n!*2^n))*x^(2*n+1) = (A052750(n)/A000165(n))*x^(2*n+1). Letting D_n be the set of divisors of n! and d_n = max(k in D_n : k | (2*n+1)^(n-1)), then a(n)=A000165(n)/d_n. (End)
The above conjecture is correct and follows from formula given in A034940 for the number of rooted labeled triangular cacti with 2n+1 nodes. - Andrew Howroyd, Aug 30 2018
