COMMENT

Let d(n) be the number of derangements of n elements (sequence A000166) then a(n) has the recursion: a(n) = d(n) + C(n,2)*d(n-2) + C(n,4)*d(n-4) + C(n,6)*d(n-6)... = A000166(n) + A000387(n) + A000475(n) + C(n,6)*d(n-6)... The E.g.f. for a(n) is: cosh(x) * exp(-x)/(1-x) and the asymptotic expression for a(n) is: a(n) ~ n! * (1 + 1/e^2)/2 i.e. as n goes to infinity the fraction of permutations that has an even number of fixed points is about (1 + 1/e^2)/2 = 0.567667...

FORMULA

a(n) = sum k=0 ... [n/2] sum l=0...n-2k (-1)^l * n!/((2k)! * l!)

More generally, e.g.f. for number of degree-n permutations with an even number of k-cycles is cosh(x^k/k)*exp(-x^k/k)/(1-x). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Jan 31 2006
