Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} Sum_{j=0..k} binomial(k, j) * k^n * (k-2*j)^n / 2^k. [Explicitly stating Vaclav's formula in Mma program - Paul D. Hanna, Oct 15 2018]

If n is even, then a(n) ~ c * (1-2*r)^n * n^(2*n) / (2^n * exp(n) * (r*(1-r))^(n/2)), where r = 0.0832217201995176507819192648878903254298041... is the root of the equation (r/(1-r))^(1-2*r) = exp(-2), and c = 2.09233700490262732901066903251002074102409436600891921766318742438...
