FORMULA

a(n) = (-1)^n*Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} Stirling1(n, 2*k)*(2*k)!. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Sep 22 2003

E.g.f.: 1/(1-log(1-x)^2).

a(n) = D^n(1/(1-x^2)) evaluated at x = 0, where D is the operator exp(x)*d/dx. Cf. A006252. - Peter Bala, Nov 25 2011

MAPLE

spec := [S, {B=Cycle(Z), C=Prod(B, B), S=Sequence(C)}, labeled]: seq(combstruct[count](spec, size=n), n=0..20);

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<0, 0, n!*polcoeff(1/(1-log(1-x)^2), n))

(Maxima) makelist((-1)^n*sum(stirling1(n, 2*k)*(2*k)!, k, 0, floor(n/2)), n, 0, 18);  [Bruno Berselli, May 25 2011]
