FORMULA

E.g.f.: sinh(x) * exp(-x)/(1-x). Asymptotic expression: a(n) ~ n! * (1 - 1/e^2)/2 i.e. as n goes to infinity the fraction for permutations that has an odd number of fixed points is about (1 - 1/e^2)/2 = 0.432332...

a(n) = n! - A062282(n) = n! - sum k=0 ... [n/2] sum l=0...n-2k (-1)^l * n!/((2k)! * l!)

Recurrence: a(n) = n*a(n-1)+(-2)^(n-1). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)Eunet.yu), Apr 11 2003

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