COMMENTS

a(n) equals (-1)^n times the coefficient of sqrt(1-x^2)*(arcsin x)^2 in int (arcsin x)^(2n-1) dx. [From John M. Campbell, Jul 20 2011]

FORMULA

a(n) = (n-1)*(2*n-1)*(2*n-3)!

EXAMPLE

For example: if n=1 then no polygon exists with 2 different sides. If n=2 then the polygon has 4 different sides A, B, C, D. In this case 3 different types of such 4-angle exist: (A, B, C, D), (A, B, D, C), (A, C, B, D).

MATHEMATICA

nn = 32; a = Log[1/(1 - x^2)^(1/4)] - x^2/4; Prepend[Select[Range[0, nn]! CoefficientList[Series[a, {x, 0, nn}], x], # > 0 &], 0] (* Geoffrey Critzer, Dec 10 2011 *)
