FORMULA

a(3)=0, a(n)= n*a(n-1) + (n-1)*(n-2)/2 for n>=4 a(n) = A079752(n) + A079754(n)

For n>=3, a(n)=floor(c*n!-(n-1)/2) where c=limit n-->infinity a(n)/n!= 0.192474247562855951... - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Jan 20 2003

MATHEMATICA

a[3] = 0; a[n_] := n*a[n - 1] + (n - 1)*(n - 2)/2; Table[a[n], {n, 3, 21}]
