COMMENT

a(n) is also the number of permutations in the symmetric group S_n that are pure cycles - Avi Peretz (njk(AT)netvision.net.il), Mar 24 2001

LINKS

T. D. Noe, Table of n, a(n) for n=1..100

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 5 because the cycles in S_3 are (12), (13), (23), (123), (132).

CROSSREFS

Differences satisfy a(n+1)-a(n)=A000522(n)-1.

Cf. A059760.
