COMMENT

|a(n)| = number of labeled mappings from n points to themselves (endofunctions) with an odd number of cycles. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Mar 30 2006

FORMULA

a(n) = (-1)^(n-1) * n^(n-2) * (n^2 + n)/2

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 (smiley(AT)math.uaa.alaska.edu), Dec 13 2001

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 18 because this is the determinant of [(1,2,3), (3,1,2), (2,3,1) ]

MATHEMATICA

f[n_] := Module[{a = Table[i, {i, 1, n}], m = {}, k = 0}, While[k < n, m = Append[m, RotateLeft[a, k]]; k++ ]; Det[m]]; Table[ f[n], {n, 1, 20} ]

(Mupad) (1+n)^(n-1)*binomial(n+2, n)*(-1)^(n) $ n=0..16 - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 01 2007
