Table of n, a(n) for n=1..18.

FORMULA

a(n) = (-1)^(n)*(2*n-3)!!*((1)+(4*n-2)*sum((-1)^(k+n)/(2*k+1), k=0..n-1))

a(n) = (2*n-1)*a(n-1)+2*(-1)^n*(2*n-5)!! with a(1) = 1.

a(n) = 4*a(n-1)+(4*n^2-16*n+15)*a(n-2) with a(1) = 1 and a(2) = 5 [According to Superseeker].

CROSSREFS

Equals the first column of the ED3 array A167572.

Equals the first right hand column of A167583.

Other columns are A167577 and A167578.

Cf. A097801 (the 2*(-1)^n*(2*n-5)!! factor).

Cf. A007509 and A025547 (the sum((-1)^(k+n)/(2*k+1), k=0..n-1) factor).

Sequence in context: A054749 A107204 A178383 * A116151 A198026 A198093
