FORMULA

a(n) = (-1)^n*sum {k = 0..n} (-2)^k*(n+k)!/((n-k)!*k!) = (-1)^n*y_n(-4), where y_n(x) denotes the n-th Bessel polynomial. Recurrence relation: a(0) = 1, a(2) = 3, a(n) = 4*(2*n-1)*a(n-1) + a(n-2) for n >= 2. Sequence A065919(n) satisfies the same recurrence relation. Sqrt(e) = 1 + 2*sum {n = 0..inf} (-1)^n/(a(n)*a(n+1)) = 1 + 2*(1/(1*3) - 1/(3*37) + 1/(37*743) - ...).

MAPLE

a := n -> (-1)^n*add ((-2)^k*(n+k)!/((n-k)!*k!), k = 0..n): seq(a(n), n = 0..16);
