COMMENTS

a(n) can be seen as a subset of the unordered pairings of the first 2n integers (A001147) with forbidden pairs (i,i+1) for all i in [1,2n-1] (all adjacent integers). The circular version of this constraint is A003436. [From Olivier Gérard, Feb 8 2011]

FORMULA

E.g.f.: exp(sqrt(1+2*x)-1)/sqrt(1+2*x). - Michael Somos, Feb 16, 2002

a(n) = (-2*n+1)*a(n-1) + a(n-2). - T. D. Noe, Oct 26 2006

If y = x + Sum_{k>1} A000272(k)*x^k/k!, then y = x + Sum{k>1} a(k-2)(-y)^k/k!. - Michael Somos Sep 07 2005

a(-1-n)= a(n). - Michael Somos Apr 02 2007

a(n)=sum(A001498(n,m)*(-1)^m,m=0..n), n>=0 (alternating row sums of Bessel triangle).

E.g.f. for unsigned version: -exp(sqrt(1-2*x)-1). [From Karol A. Penson, Mar 20 2010] (gives -1, 1, 0, 1, 5, 36, 329, ... )

E.g.f. for unsigned version: 1/(sqrt(1-2*x))*exp(sqrt(1-2*x)-1). [Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jul 03 2012]

G.f.: 1/G(0) where G(k)= 1 - x + x*(2*k+1)/(1 - x + 2*x*(k+1)/G(k+1)); (continued fraction, 2-step). [Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jul 10 2012]

G.f.: 1+x/U(0)  where U(k)=   1 - x + x*(k+1)/U(k+1) ; (continued fraction, Euler's 1st kind, 1-step). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 06 2012

EXAMPLE

For n=3, the a(3) = 5 solutions are (14) (25) (36), (14) (26) (35), (15) (24) (36), (16) (24) (35), (13) (25) (46) excluding 10 other possible pairings.

MAPLE

A000806 := proc(n) option remember; if n<=1 then n else (2*n+1)*A000806(n-1)+A000806(n-2); fi; end; # for unsigned version

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := a[n] = (-2n+1)*a[n-1] + a[n-2]; a[0] = 1; a[1] = 0; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 19}] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Nov 29 2011, after T. D. Noe *)
