FORMULA
E.g.f.: (1/(2-exp(x))^2-1)/2. - Michael Somos, Mar 04 2004
G.f.: 1/Q(0), where Q(k) = 1 - x*(3*k+4) - 2*x^2*(k+1)*(k+3)/Q(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 03 2013
a(n) ~ n! * n / (8 * (log(2))^(n+2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 01 2018
MATHEMATICA
a[n_] := (-1)^n (PolyLog[-n - 1, 2] - PolyLog[-n, 2])/8;
