%N Coefficients of asymptotic expansion of Ramanujan false theta series.
%C Also a(n) = number of alternating fixed-point-free involutions on 1,2,...,2n, i.e., w(1) > w(2) < w(3) > w(4) < ... > w(2n), w^2=1 and w(i) != i for all i. - _Richard Stanley_, Jan 22 2006. For example, a(3)=2 because there are two alternating fixed-point-free involutions on 1,...,6, viz., 214365 and 645231.
%C If b(n) is the number of reverse alternating fixed-point-free involutions on 1,2,...,2n (A115455) then b(n-1) + b(n) = a(n). - _Richard Stanley_, Jan 22 2006
