%N List of pairs of numbers: {n^2-1, (2*n-1)!!} such that F((2*n-1)!!) = n^2 - 1.

%C If you have two recursions ( addition and multiplication):

%C a(n) = 2*n - 1 + a(n-1), a(n) = n*(n+1)/2, with a(0) = -1 and b(n) = (2*n - 1)*a(n-1), a(n) = n!, with b(0) = 1 then you can form a function F such that: F((2*n-1)!!) = n^2 - 1.

%H G. C. Greubel, <a href="/A154029/b154029.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..800</a>

%F {n^2 - 1, (2*n - 1)!!}.

%t Clear[a,b,n];

%t Flatten[Table[{n^2 - 1, (2*n - 1)!!}, {n,1,20}]] (* Produces terms *)

%t (*addition*)

%t a[0] = -1; a[n_] := a[n] = (2*n - 1) + a[n - 1];

%t Table[a[n] - (n^2 - 1), {n, 0, 20}] (* Demonstrates that a[n] = n^2 -1 *)

%t (*multiplication*)

%t b[0] = 1; b[n_] := b[n] = (2*n - 1)*b[n - 1];

%t Table[b[n] - (2*n - 1)!!, {n, 0, 20}] (* Demonstrates that b[n] = (2*n - 1)!! *)
