FORMULA
G.f.: (G(x)^2+H(x))/2 where G(x) = Sum_{k>=0} k!*x^k and H(x) = Sum_{k>=0} k!^2*x^(2*k). - Vladeta Jovovic, Sep 22 2007
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} k!*(n-k)!. - Vladimir Reshetnikov, Oct 05 2016
EXAMPLE
a(3)=3!*(1/1 + 1/3)=6*4/3=8.
MAPLE
a:=proc(n) options operator, arrow: factorial(n)*(sum(1/binomial(n, k), k= 0.. floor((1/2)*n))) end proc: seq(a(n), n=0..21); # Emeric Deutsch, Oct 11 2007
