A089656 Given a distribution of n balls, labeled 1,...,n, among n unlabeled contents-ordered urns, arrange the nonempty urns in increasing order of their initial elements: U_1,...U_k, and sum the quantities (i-1)(card U_i - 1) for i=1,...,k to get the "weight" of this distribution. These numbers represent the number of distributions of even weight minus the number with odd weight. +0

FORMULA

E.g.f.: cosh(x*(1-x^2)^-1/2) + (1-x^2)^1/2*(1-x)^-1*sinh(x*(1-x^2)^-1/2)

EXAMPLE

a(3)=7 because there are 9 distributions of balls 1,2,3 with weight 0: 123,132,213,231,312,321,12-3,13-2, and 1-2-3, and 2 distributions of weight 1:1-23 and 1-32 (dashes separate contents-ordered urns)
