COMMENTS

The self-continued fraction of r>0 is here introduced as the sequence (b(0), b(1), b(2), ...) defined as follows: put r(0)=r, b(0)=[r(0)] and for n>=1, put r(n)=b(n-1)/(r(n-1)-b(n-1)) and b(n)=[r(n)]. This differs from simple continued fraction, for which r(n)=1/(r(n-1)-b(n-1)). Now r=lim(p(n)/q(n)), where p(0)=b(1), q(0)=1, p(1)=b(0)(b(1)+1), q(1)=b(1) and for n>=2, p(n)=b(n)*p(n-1)+b(n-1)*p(n-2), q(n)=b(n)*q(n-1)+b(n-1)*q(n-2); p(0),p(1),... are the numerators of the self-convergents to r; q(0),q(1),... are the denominators of the self-convergents to r. Thus A096654 is given by a(n)=(n+1)*a(n-1)+n*a(n-2), a(0)=1, a(1)=2.

Number of increasing runs of odd length in all permutations of [n+1]. Example: a(2)=8 because we have (123),13(2),(3)12,(2)13,23(1),(3)(2)(1) (the runs of odd length are shown between parentheses). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Aug 29 2004

sequence is the termwise sums of A055596

aequence is a function of the subfactorials A000166 (End)

FORMULA

E.g.f.=[3-x-2(1+x)exp(-x)]/(1-x)^3. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Aug 29 2004

Contribution from Gary Detlefs (gdetlefs(AT)aol.com), Apr 12 2010: (Start)

a(n) = A055596(n+1) + A055596(n+2)

a(n) = (n+1)!+(n+2)! -2*( A000166(n+1) + A000166(n+2))

a(n) = (n+1)! - 2*floor(((n+1)!+1)/e) + (n+2)!-2*floor(((n+2)!+1)/e) (End)

a(n) = (n+3)!-2*floor(((n+3)!+1)/e) [From Gary Detlefs (gdetlefs(AT)aol.com), Jul 11 2010]

EXAMPLE

a(2)=q(2)=3*2+2*1=8, a(3)=q(3)=4*8+3*2=38. The convergents p(0)/q(0) to p(4)/q(4) are 1/1, 3/2, 11/8, 53/38, 309/222.

MAPLE

G:=(3-x-2*(1+x)*exp(-x))/(1-x)^3: Gser:=series(G, x=0, 22): 1, seq(n!*coeff(Gser, x^n), n=1..21);
