FORMULA
a(n) = A135388(n) / (n-1)!^(2n+1) = A350028(2n+1) / (n-1)!^(2n+1) = A357887(2n+1,n(2n+1)) / (n-1)!^(2n+1). - Max Alekseyev, Oct 19 2022
EXAMPLE
From Günter Rote, Dec 09 2021: (Start)
For n=2, in the graph K5, if we fix the Euler tour to start with the edge 12, we get 132 Euler tours. Here are the first and the last few in lexicographic order.

12314254351
12314352451
12314354251

...
12543153241
12543241351
12543241531
12543513241
12543514231.
To get all 264*1!^5 = 264 Euler tours, the number must be multiplied by 2 to include the reversed tours. (End)
