FORMULA
a(n) = n*a(n-1) + 2*(n-1)*a(n-2). - Detlef Pauly (dettodet(AT)yahoo.de), Sep 22 2003
a(n) = (n+5)*(n+2)*n! * Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k*2^(k+2)*(k+3)/(k+5)!. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 28 2012
G.f.: 1/Q(0), where Q(k) = 1 + 2*x - x*(k+3)/(1 - x*(k+1)/Q(k+1)); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Apr 22 2013
a(n) ~ n!*(n+5)*(n+2)/(2*exp(2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 15 2013
From Peter Bala, Sep 20 2013: (Start)
a(n) ~ (1/2)*n^2*n!/e^2 for large n.
Letting n -> infinity in the above series for a(n) given by Kotesovec gives the series expansion 1/e^2 = Sum_{k >= 0} (-1)^k*(k+3)*2^(k+3)/(k+5)!.
The sequence b(n) := (1/2)*n!*(n+2)*(n+5) satisfies the recurrence for a(n) given above by Pauly but with the starting values b(0) = 5 and b(1) = 9. This leads to the finite continued fraction expansion a(n) = (1/2)*n!*(n+2)*(n+5)( 1/(5 + 4/(1 + 2/(2 + 4/(3 + ... + 2*(n-1)/n)))) ), valid for n >= 2. Letting n -> infinity in the previous result gives the infinite continued fraction expansion 1/e^2 = 1/(5 + 4/(1 + 2/(2 + 4/(3 + ... + 2*(n-1)/(n + ...))))). Cf. A082031. (End)
