%N Number of partitions of an n-set without blocks of size 2.

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} (-1)^k*binomial(n, 2*k)*(2*k-1)!!*Bell(n-2*k).

%F E.g.f.: exp(exp(x)-1-x^2/2). More generally, e.g.f. for number of partitions of an n-set which contain exactly q blocks of size p is x^(p*q)/(q!*p!^q)*exp(exp(x)-1-x^p/p!).

%p g:=exp(exp(x)-1-x^2/2): gser:=series(g,x=0,31): 1,seq(n!*coeff(gser,x^n),n=1..29); # _Emeric Deutsch_, Nov 18 2004

%p a:= proc(n) option remember; `if`(n=0, 1, add(`if`(

%p j=2, 0, a(n-j)*binomial(n-1, j-1)), j=1..n))
