%N Number of partitions into pairs.

%C a(n) is the subset of the set of unordered pairings of the first 2n integers (A001147) forbidding pairs of the form (i,i+1) for all i in [2,n-1]. There are many other selections of forbidden pairs giving the same count. [From Olivier Gérard, Feb 8 2011]

%F a(n) = |A000806(n-1)|+|A000806(n)|. G.f.: Sum_{n>=0} A001147(n)*(x/(1+x)^2)^n. - _Vladeta Jovovic_, Jun 27 2007

%F Recurrence: (4*n^2-8*n+1)*a(n-1) + (2*n-1)*a(n-2) + (3-2*n)*a(n) = 0. - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Oct 05 2012
