%N A052182 Determinant of n X n matrix whose rows are cyclic permutations of 1..n.
%C A052182 |a(n)| = number of labeled mappings from n points to themselves (endofunctions) 
               with an odd number of cycles. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs),

%F A052182 E.g.f.[A052182] = E.g.f.[A000312] * E.g.f.[A000272], so A052182(unsigned) 
               is "tree-like". E.g.f.: (T-T^2/2)/(1-T), where T=T(x) is Euler's 
               tree function (see A000169). E.g.f. for signed sequence: (W+W^2/2)/
               (1+W), where W=W(x)=-T(-x) is the Lambert W function.- Len Smiley
