COMMENTS

The first term a(0) would be a fraction if the floor( ... ) function would be omitted ; for n>=2, all terms from A003422 are even. - M. F. Hasler, Dec 16 2007

FORMULA

a(1)=1, a(2)=2, a(n)=(n+1)*a(n-1)-n*a(n-2). - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Sep 07 2002

a(0) = 0, a(n) = (1/2)*Floor[1+1*Floor[1+2*Floor[1+....+(n-1)*Floor[1+n*Floor[1]]]....]. [From Joseph E. Cooper III (easonrevant(AT)gmail.com), Aug 19 2008]
