FORMULA
|
G.f.: Sum_{n=0..infinity} a(2n+1)x^(2n+1) = Sum_{i, j=0..infinity) arctan(x)^(2i+1) (log((1+x^2)/(1-x^2)))^j E(2i+2j+1)/(2i+1)!j!4^j, where E(2i+2j+1) is a Euler number (A000111). There is a similar but more complicated generating function for a(2n). - R. P. Stanley (rstan(AT)math.mit.edu), Jan 02 2006
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
a(3)=1 since among the four involutions of length 3 (123, 213, 321, 132), only one is up-down (132).
