FORMULA
a(n) = a(n-1)*(2*n-1) + a(n-2); a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1.
E.g.f.: sinh(1-(1-2*x)^(1/2))/(1-2*x)^(1/2). - Vladeta Jovovic, Jan 30 2004
E.g.f.: cosh(1-(1-2*x)^(1/2))/(1-2*x) + sinh(1-(1-2*x)^(1/2))/((1-2*x)^(3/2)).
E.g.f. G(0)/(1-2*x) where G(k)= 1 + 2*x/((2*k+1)*(1-2*x+sqrt(1-2*x))+(2*k+1)*(4*x^2-2*x)/(-1+2*x+sqrt(1-2*x) + (2*k+2)/G(k+1))); (continued fraction, 3rd kind, 3-step). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jul 01 2012
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor((n-1)/2)} 2^(n-2*k-1)*(n-2*k-1)!*binomial(n-k-1,k)*binomial(n-k-1/2,k+1/2). Cf. A058798. - Peter Bala, Aug 01 2013
a(n) ~ (exp(2)-1)*2^(n-1/2)*n^n/exp(n+1). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 05 2013
a(n) = A001147(n)*hypergeometric([1/2-n/2, 1-n/2], [3/2, 1/2-n, 1-n], 1) for n >= 2. - Peter Luschny, Sep 11 2014
a(n) = i*(BesselK[1/2,1]*BesselI[n+1/2,-1] - BesselI[1/2,-1]*BesselK[n+1/2,1]) for n>=0 (where a(0) = 0). - G. C. Greubel, Apr 18 2015
a(n) = A025164(-1-n) for all n in Z. - Michael Somos, Sep 27 2017
