COMMENTS

For n >= 1, a(n) equals the absolute value of the determinant of the 4n X 4n matrix with i's along the superdiagonal (where i is the imaginary unit), and 2, 3, 4, ... 4*n along the subdiagonal, and 0's everywhere else. (see Mathematica code below). [John M. Campbell (jmaxwellcampbell(AT)gmail.com), June 4 2011]

FORMULA

a(n)=A000165(2*n) where A000165(k) are the double factorial numbers 2^k*k!=(2k)!! [Corrected by Johannes W. Meijer (meijgia(AT)hotmail.com), Jul 05 2009]

a(n) = (4*n)!! = 2^(2*n)*(2*n)! [Johannes W. Meijer (meijgia(AT)hotmail.com), Jul 06 2009]

MAPLE

for n from 0 to 30 by 2 do printf(`%d, `, 2^(n)*(n)!) od:
