FORMULA

The number of degree-n permutations of order exactly p (where p is prime) satisfies a(n) =a(n-1)+(1+a(n-p))*(n-1)!/(n-p)! with a(n)=0 if p>n. Also a(n)=Sum_{j=1 to floor[n/p]}[n!/(j!*(n-p*j)!*(p^j))].

E.g.f.: exp(x+1/5*x^5)

Recurrence: {a(1)=1, a(0)=1, a(2)=1, a(4)=1, a(3)=1, (-n^4-35*n^2-50*n-24-10*n^3)*a(n)+a(n+5)-a(n+4)}

a(n) = a(n-1)+a(n-5)*(n-1)!/(n-5)! = Sum_{j = 0 to floor[n/5]}[n!/(j!*(n-5j)!*(5^j))] = A059593(n)+1
