FORMULA

a(2n-1)=d(n-1)+d(n), a(2n)=2d(n), where d(j)=A000166(j) is a derangement number.

EXAMPLE

a(5)=3 because we have 14325, 32541, and 52143;

a(6)=4 because we have 143652, 163254, 325416, and 521436.

MAPLE

d := proc (n) if n = 0 then 1 else n*d(n-1)+(-1)^n end if end proc: a := proc (n) if `mod`(n, 2) = 0 then 2*d((1/2)*n) else d((1/2)*n-1/2)+d((1/2)*n+1/2) end if end proc: seq(a(n), n = 1 .. 36);
