Contribution from Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), May 25 2009: (Start)

a(n)=number of excedances in all derangements of [n-1]. Example: a(5)=18 because the derangements of {1,2,3,4} are 4*123, 3*14*2, 3*4*12, 4*3*12, 2*14*3, 2*4*13, 2*3*4*1, 3*4*21, 4*3*21 with the 18 excedances marked. An excedance of a permutation p is a position i such that p(i)>i.

a(n)=Sum(k*A046739(n,k), k>=1).

FORMULA

a(n) = (1 + n) a(n - 1) + (3 + n) a(n - 2) + (3 - n) a(n - 3) + (2 - n) a(n - 4).

E.g.f.: x^2/2*exp(-x)/(1-x)^2. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Jan 03 2003

a(n)=(n-1)^2/(n-2)*a(n-1)-(-1)^n*(n-1)/2, n>2, a(2)=0. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Aug 31 2003

(1/2){[n!/e] - [(n-1)!/e]} (conjectured).

a(n) = (n-1)*GAMMA(n,-1)*exp(-1)/2 where GAMMA = incomplete Gamma function [From Mark van Hoeij (hoeij(AT)math.fsu.edu), Nov 11 2009]

MAPLE

a:=n->sum(n!*sum((-1)^k/k!/2, j=1..n), k=0..n): seq(a(n), n=2..20); - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), May 17 2007
