my(N=20, x='x+O('x^N)); Vec(serlaplace(1/(1+lambertw(-2*log(1+x)))))
Formula
E.g.f.: 1/(1 + LambertW( -2 * log(1+x) )), where LambertW() is the Lambert W-function.
a(n) ~ n^n / (sqrt(2) * (exp(exp(-1)/2) - 1)^(n+1/2) * exp(n - exp(-1)/4 + 1/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Feb 06 2022
Extensions
Made a(0) = 1 explicit and changed range of k in definition to start at 1 at the suggestion of Harvey P. Dale. - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 31 2023
