FORMULA

Coefficient of t^2 in S[n](t) defined in A002464, divided by 2.
Recurrence: (n-3)*(n-2)*(n-4)^3*a(n) = (n-3)*(n^4-9*n^3+23*n^2-4*n-29)*(n-4)*a(n-1) - (n-1)*(n^4-12*n^3+57*n^2-125*n+104)*(n-4)*a(n-2) - (n-2)*(n-1)*(n^4-15*n^3+83*n^2-198*n+169)*a(n-3) + (n-3)^3*(n-2)^2*(n-1)*a(n-4). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 10 2013
a(n) ~ sqrt(2*Pi)*n^(n+1/2)/exp(n+2). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 10 2013
