COMMENT

a(n) is an integer multiple of n for all n>=1.

FORMULA

a(0)=1; a(1)=1; a(n)=n*a(nl)*a(n-1-nl) with nl=min(b-1,n-b/2) and b=2^floor(log[2](n))

EXAMPLE

a(4)=8 because 8=24/3 and there are 24 permutations on 4 elements, 3 of which are heaps, namely (1,2,3,4), (1,2,4,3), and (1,3,2,4). In every (min-) heap, the element at position i has to be larger than an element at position floor(i/2) for all i=1..n.

MAPLE

a := proc (n) option remember; local b, nl; if n<=1 then RETURN (1) fi; b:=2^trunc(simplify(log[2](n))); nl := min (b-1, n-b/2); RETURN (n*a(nl)*a(n-1-nl)); end; seq(a(i), i=0..50);
