%N a(n) is the number of even permutations (of an n-set) with exactly 2 fixed points.

%F a(n) = (n(n-1)/2)*A003221(n-2), (n > 1).

%F E.g.f.: (x^2*(1-x^2/2) * exp(-x))/(2*(1-x)).

%F D-finite with recurrence -(n-5)*(n-2)^2*a(n) +n*(n-3)*(n^2-7*n+8)*a(n-1) +n*(n-4)*(n-1)^2*a(n-2)=0. - _R. J. Mathar_, Jul 06 2023

%e a(5) = 20 because there are exactly 20 even permutations (of a 5-set) having 2 fixed points, namely: (123), (132), (124), (142), (125), (152), (134), (143), (135), (153), (145), (154), (234), (243), (235), (253), (245), (254), (345), (354).
