FORMULA

o.g.f. g(2x)/g(x) where g(x) = sum_{n>=0} n! x^n

EXAMPLE

For n=2, the Weyl group B_2 has 8 elements and is generated by {t,s} with s^2=t^2=(st)^4=1, the elements which have reduced words containing both s and t are st, ts, sts, tst and stst. The other three elements are 1, s, t. Therefore f(2)=5.

MAPLE

f:=k->coeff(series(add(2^n*n!*x^n, n=0..k)/add(n!*x^n, n=0..k), x, k+1), x, k);
