%N Number of essentially different permutations of the numbers 1 to n such that the sum of adjacent numbers is a square.

%C For n > 31, some solutions are circular; that is, the first and last numbers also sum to a square. Note that A071983 counts each circular solution n times. This sequence counts each circular solution only once. The Mathematica program uses backtracking to find all solutions, which can be printed by removing the comment symbols.

%F a(n) = A071983(n) - (n-1)*A071984(n).

%e See A071983.
