FORMULA
|
a(n) = Sum_{k=2..n} (-1)^k*(2n-k-1)!*(n-k)!/((2n-2k)!*(k-2)!).
a(n) = A000033(n)/n.
a(n) = ((2*n-5)*a(n-1) + (5*n-11)*a(n-2) + (5*n-14)*a(n-3) + (2*n-5)*a(n-4) + 2*a(n-5))/2 for n >= 6.
Shorter recurrence: (14*n-67)*a(n) = (14*n^2-95*n+137)*a(n-1) + (14*n^2-105*n+180)*a(n-2) - 24*a(n-4) + (57-10*n)*a(n-3). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 26 2012
a(n) ~ 2/e^2*(n-1)!. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 26 2012
a(n) = round((exp(-2)*(8*BesselK(n,2) - (4*n-10)*BesselK(n-1,2)))) for n > 6. - Mark van Hoeij, Jun 09 2019
a(n)+2*a(n+p)+a(n+2*p) is divisible by p for any prime p. - Mark van Hoeij, Jun 13 2019
