COMMENTS

Let n$ denote the swinging factorial. a(n) = n$ / 2^sigma(n) where sigma(n) is the exponent of 2 in the prime-factorisation of n$. sigma(n) can be computed as the number of '1's in the base 2 representation of floor(n/2).

EXAMPLE

11$ = 2772 = 2^2*3^2*7*11. Therefore a(11) = 3^2*7*11 = 2772/4 = 693.

MAPLE

swing := proc(n) option remember; if n = 0 then 1 elif irem(n, 2) = 1 then swing(n-1)*n else 4*swing(n-1)/n fi end:

sigma := n -> 2^(add(i, i= convert(iquo(n, 2), base, 2))):

a := n -> swing(n)/sigma(n);

CROSSREFS

Cf. A056040 and A060632. A001790 = a(2*n), A001803(n) = a(2*n+1).
