FORMULA
a(n) ~ (n-1)!/r^n, where r = 0.73908513321516... is the root of the equation r = cos(r). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 27 2013
EXAMPLE
E.g.f.: A(x) = x + 2*x^2/2! + 5*x^3/3! + 20*x^4/4! + 109*x^5/5! + 736*x^6/6! +...
such that
exp(-A(x)) = 1 - x - x^2/2! + x^4/4! - x^6/6! + x^8/8! - x^10/10! +...
