Or, number of labeled 2-regular relations of order n.
Also number of ways to arrange 2n rooks on an n X n chessboard, with no more than 2 rooks in each row and column (no 3 in a line). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 03 2013

FORMULA
a(n) = (n! (n-1) Gamma(n-1/2) / Gamma(1/2) ) * 1F1[2-n; 3/2-n; -1/2] [Erlebach and Ruehr]. This representation is exact, asymptotic and convergent.
D-finite with recurrence 2*a(n) -2*n*(n-1)*a(n-1) -n*(n-1)^2*a(n-2)=0.
a(n) ~ 2 sqrt(Pi) n^(2n + 1/2) e^(-2n - 1/2) [Knuth]
a(n) = (1/2)*n*(n-1)^2 * ( (2*n-3)*a(n-2) + (n-2)^2*a(n-3) ) (from Anand et al.)
Sum_{n >= 0} a(n)*x^n/(n!)^2 = exp(-x/2)/sqrt(1-x); a(n) = n(n-1)/2 [ 2 a(n-1) + (n-1) a(n-2) ] (Bricard)
b_n = a_n/n! satisfies b_n = (n-1)(b_{n-1} + b_{n-2}/2); e.g.f. for {b_n} and for derangements (A000166) are related by D(x) = B(x)^2.
Limit_(n->infinity) sqrt(n)*a(n)/(n!)^2 = A096411 [Kuczma]. - R. J. Mathar, Sep 21 2007
a(n) = 4^(-n) * n!^2 * Sum_{i=0..n} (-2)^i * (2*n - 2*i)! / (i!*(n-i)!^2). - Shanzhen Gao, Feb 15 2010
