COMMENT

Stirling transform of -(-1)^n*a(n-1)=[1,0,1,-3,18,...] is A052856(n-2)=[1,1,2,4,14,76,...].

Number of cycles of even cardinality in all permutations of [n]. Example: a(3)=3 because among (1)(2)(3), (1)(23), (12)(3), (13)(2), (132), (123) we have three cycles of even length. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Aug 12 2004

FORMULA

a(2n+1)=(2n+1)a(2n).

a(n) = n!*(Psi(floor(n/2)+1)+gamma)/2. E.g.f.: ln(1-x^2)/(2*x-2). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Mar 06 2004

EXAMPLE

a(4)=4!*(1/2+1/4)=18, a(5)=5!*(1/2+1/4)=90.

PROGRAM

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<0, 0, n!*sum(k=1, n\2, 1/k)/2)

(PARI) {a(n)=if(n<0, 0, n!*polcoeff( log(1-x^2+x*O(x^n))/(2*x-2), n))}
