COMMENTS
| Stirling transform of (-1)^n*a(n-1)=[0,1,-1,5,-14,94,...] is A000629(n-2)=[0,1,2,6,26,...]. - Michael Somos Mar 04 2004
Stirling transform of a(n)=[1,1,5,14,94,...] is A052882(n)=[1,2,9,52,375,...]. - Michael Somos Mar 04 2004
a(n) is the number of n-permutations that have a cycle with length greater than n/2. [From Geoffrey Critzer (critzer.geoffrey(AT)usd443.org), May 28 2009]
Contribution from Jens Voss (jens(AT)voss-ahrensburg.de), May 07 2010: (Start)
A024167(4n) is divisible by 6n+1 for all n >= 1; the quotient of A024167(4n) and 6n+1 is A177188(n).
A024167(4n+3) is divisible by 6n+5 for all n >= 0; the quotient of A024167(4n+3) and 6n+5 is A177174(n). (End)

FORMULA
| E.g.f.: ln(1+x)/(1-x). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Aug 25 2002
a(n)=a(n-1)+a(n-2)*(n-1)^2, n>1. - Michael Somos, Oct 29, 2002
b(n) = n! satisfies the above recurrence with b(1) = 1, b(2) = 2. This gives the finite continued fraction expansion a(n)/n! = 1/(1+1^2/(1+2^2/(1+3^2/(1+...+(n-1)^2/1)))). Cf. A142979. - Peter Bala (pbala(AT)toucansurf.com), Jul 17 2008
a(n) = A081358(n) - A092691(n) [From Gary Detlefs (gdetlefs(AT)aol.com), Jul 09 2010]
