FORMULA

a(n)=n!*sum(((-1)^j)/(j!*2^j),j=0..floor(n/2)-k)/(k!*2^k), n>=1.

E.g.f.: x^2/(1-x)/2*exp(-x^2/2). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Nov 09 2003

Contribution from Weisenhorn Paul (weisenhorn-f.p(AT)online.de), Jun 02 2010: In general, for k cycles of length 2, a(n)=n!*sum((-1)^j/((j-k)!*2^j*k!),j=k..n div 2), g.f. = (exp(-z^2/2)*z^2*k)/((1-z)*2^k*k!)

MAPLE

Contribution from Weisenhorn Paul (weisenhorn-f.p(AT)online.de), Jun 02 2010: (Start)

G=(exp(-z^2/2)*z^2*k)/((1-z)*2^k*k!): Gser=series(G, z=0, 21):

for n from 2*k to 20 do a(n)=n!*coeff(Gser, z, n): end do:

(End)
