COMMENT
|
A003827 factors out the singleton components only, but many alternating sign matrices can be decomposed into larger pieces
|
|
FORMULA
|
Sum[a[k]z^k/k!^2, {k, 0, Infinity}]=Log[Sum[r[k]z^k/k!^2, {k, 0, Infinity}] where r[k] is the k-th Robbins number A005130[n].
a[n]=r[n]-(1/n)*sum{k=0..n-1}k*C(n, k)^2*r[n-k]*a[k], n>0, a[0]=0, where c(n, k) is binomial coefficient and r[k] is the k-th Robbins number A005130[n] - Vladeta Jovovic.

EXAMPLE
|
a[4]=2 because of the alternating sign matrices {{0,1,0,0},{1,-1,1,0},{0,1,-1,1},{0,0,1,0}} and {{0,0,1,0},{0,1,-1,1},{1,-1,1,0},{0,1,0,0}}
