COMMENTS

a(n) is the number of matchings in the complete bipartite graph K(n,n). - Sharon Sela (sharonsela(AT)hotmail.com), May 19 2002

Number of 12-avoiding signed permutations in B_n (see Simion ref).

EXP transform of A001048(n) = n! + (n-1)!. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Dec 28 2006

a(n) is also the order of the symmetric inverse semigroup (monoid), I sub n. [From A. Umar, Sep 09 2008]

Contribution from Peter Luschny, Mar 27 2011: (Start) Let B_{n}(x) = sum_{j>=0}(exp(j!/(j-n)!*x-1)/j!) then a(n) = 2! [x^2] taylor(B_{n}(x)), where [x^2] denotes the coefficient of x^2 in the Taylor series for B_{n}(x).

a(n) is column 2 of the square array representation of A090210.

a(n) is the Hosoya index of the complete bipartite graph K_{n,n}. - Eric Weisstein, Jul 9, 2011

FORMULA

a(n) = sum(k=0..n, k!*C(n, k)^2 ).

E.g.f.: (1/(1-x))*exp(x/(1-x)).

a(n) = 2*n*a(n-1) - (n-1)^2*a(n-2).

Asymptotically, a(n)/n! ~ (1/2)*Pi^(-1/2)*exp(-1/2+2*n^(1/2))/n^(1/4) and so a(n) ~ C*BesselI(0, 2*sqrt(n))*n! with C = exp(-1/2) = .6065306597126334236... - Alec Mihailovs, Sep 06 2005, establishing a conjecture of Franklin T. Adams-Watters.
