a(n) is also the number of permutations of [n] having no circular succession. A circular succession in a permutation p of [n] is either a pair p(i), p(i+1), where p(i+1)=p(i)+1 or the pair p(n), p(1) if p(1)=p(n)+1. a(4)=8 because we have 1324, 1432, 4132, 2143, 2413, 3214, 3241, and 4321. - Emeric Deutsch, Sep 06 2010

FORMULA
|
E.g.f.: x*exp(-x)/(1-x). [corrected by Vaclav Kotesovec, Sep 26 2012]
a(n) = sum((-1)^k*n!/k!, k=0..n-1).
a(n) = A180188(n,0). - Emeric Deutsch, Sep 06 2010
E.g.f.: x*A(x) where A(x) is the e.g.f. for A000166. - Geoffrey Critzer, Jan 14 2012
a(n) = n*a(n-1)-(-1)^n*n = A000166(n)-(-1)^n = n*A000166(n-1) = A000387(n+1)*2/(n+1) = A000449(n+2)*6/((n+1)*(n+2)).
a(n) = n*floor(((n-1)!+1)/e), n>1. - Gary Detlefs, Jul 13 2010
lim_{n->infinity} n!/a(n) = e = 2.71828...

EXAMPLE
|
a(3) = 3 because the permutations of (1,2,3) with one fixed point are (1,2), (1,3), (2,3).
