COMMENTS
|
a(n) enumerates (ordered) lists of n three-tuples such that every number from 1 to n appears once at each of the three tuple positions and the j-th list member is not the tuple (j,j,j), for every j=1,..,n. Called coincidence-free 3-tuple lists of length n. See the Charalambides reference for this combinatorial interpretation.

FORMULA
|
a(n) = Sum_{j=0,..,n} ( ((-1)^(n-j))*binomial(n,j)*(j!)^3 ). See the Charalambides reference a(n) = B_{n,3}.
a(n) ~ n!^3 ~ (2*Pi)^(3/2) * n^(3*n + 3/2) / exp(3*n). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 19 2016

EXAMPLE
|
3-tuple combinatorics: a(1)=0 because the only list of 3-tuples with numbers 1 is [(1,1,1)] and this is a coincidence for j=1.
3-tuple combinatorics: the a(2)=7 coincidence-free 3-tuple lists of length n=2 are [(1,1,2),(2,2,1)], [(1,2,1),(2,1,2)], [(2,1,1),(1,2,2)], [(2,2,1), (1,1,2)], [(2,1,2),(1,2,1)], [(1,2,2),(2,1,1)] and [(2,2,2),(1,1, 1)]. The list [(1,1,1),(2,2,2)] has in fact two coincidences (j=1 and j=2).
