FORMULA

a(n)=n^2*(2n-3)!!

a(n)=Sum(k*A161119(n,k), k=0..n)

E.g.f.: x(1-x)/(1-2x)^(3/2). [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Sep 13 2010]

EXAMPLE

a(2)=4 because in the 3 fixed-point-free involutions of {1,2,3,4}, namely (12)(34), (13)(24), (14)(23), we have a total of 4 cycles with entries of opposite parities.

MAPLE

seq(n^2*(product(2*j-1, j = 1 .. n-1)), n = 0 .. 18);
