a(n)=NPC(n;S;P) is the count of all neighbor-property cycles for a specific set S of n elements and a specific pair-property P. For more details, see the link and A242519.
Number of Hamiltonian cycles in the complement of P_n, where P_n is the n-path graph. - Andrew Howroyd, Mar 15 2016
a(n) also agrees with the number of optimal fundamentally distinct radio labelings of the wheel graph on (n+1) nodes for n = 5 up to at least n = 10 (and likely all larger n). - Eric W. Weisstein, Jan 12 2021
a(n) also agrees with the number of optimal fundamentally distinct radio labelings of the n-dipyramidal graph for n = 5 up to at least n = 9 (and likely all larger n). - Eric W. Weisstein, Jan 14 2021

FORMULA
|
a(n) = (n-1)!/2 + sum_{i=1..n-1} ((-1)^i * (n-i-1)! * sum_{j=0..i-1} (2^j * C(i-1,j) * C(n-i,j+1))), for n>=5. - Andrew Woods, Jan 08 2015
a(n) = n a(n-1) - (n-5) a(n-2) - (n-4) a(n-3) + (n-4) a(n-4), for n>6. - Jean-François Alcover, Oct 07 2017

EXAMPLE

The 5 cycles of length n=6 having this property are {1,3,5,2,4,6}, {1,3,5,2,6,4}, {1,3,6,4,2,5}, {1,4,2,5,3,6}, {1,4,2,6,3,5}.
