FORMULA

Coefficient of t^3 in S[n](t) defined in A002464, divided by 2.

MAPLE

S:= proc(n) option remember; `if`(n<4, [1, 1, 2*t, 4*t+2*t^2]

       [n+1], expand((n+1-t)*S(n-1) -(1-t)*(n-2+3*t)*S(n-2)

       -(1-t)^2*(n-5+t)*S(n-3) +(1-t)^3*(n-3)*S(n-4)))

    end:

a:= n-> coeff(S(n), t, 3)/2:

seq(a(n), n=0..25);  # Alois P. Heinz, Jan 11 2013
