COMMENTS

Polynomials in A021009 evaluated at -2.

Also, a(n) is the number of signed permutations of length 2n that are equal to their reverse-complements and avoid the pattern (-2,-1).  As a result, a(n) also gives the same thing but for avoiding any one of (-1,-2), (+2,+1) or (+1,+2) instead of (-2,-1).  (See the Hardt and Troyka reference.)  - Justin M. Troyka (troykaj(AT)carleton.edu), Aug 5 2011.

FORMULA

Sum_{k=0..n} k!*3^k*C(n, k) (from Robert G. Wilson v Mar 16 2005)

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} 2^{n-1-k}*[(n-1)! ]^2/[(k!)^2*(n-1-k)! ] - Huajun Huang (huanghu(AT)auburn.edu), Oct 10 2005

a(0) = 1; a(1) = 3; a(n) = (4n-1) * a(n-1) - 4 (n-1)^2 * a(n-2) for n >= 2.  - Justin M. Troyka (troykaj(AT)carleton.edu), Aug 5 2011.

E.g.f.: exp(2*x) * Sum_{n>=0} x^n/n!^2 = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n/n!^2. [From Paul D. Hanna, Nov 18 2011]

EXAMPLE

Since a(2) = 17, there are 17 signed permutations of 4 that are equal to their reverse-complements and avoid (-2,-1).  Some of these are: (+1,+3,+2,+4), (+2,-1,-4,+3), (+3,-1,-4,+2), (-1,-2,-3,-4).  - Justin M. Troyka (troykaj(AT)carleton.edu), Aug 5 2011.
