COMMENTS

Permutations with no cycles of length 1 or 2.
Related to (and bounded by) "derangements" (A000166). Minimal cycle size 3 is interesting because of its physical analog. Consider a fully-connected network of n nodes where the objects stored at the nodes must derange but can't do so in such a way that any two objects would collide along the connecting "pipe" between their nodes.

FORMULA
|
a(n) = Sum_{i=3..n} binomial(n-1,i-1) * (i-1)! * a(n-i).
E.g.f.: exp(-x-x^2/2)/(1-x) = exp( Sum_{k>2} x^k / k ).
a(n) = n! * Sum_{m=1..n} ((Sum_{k=0..m} k!*(-1)^(m-k) *binomial(m,k) *Sum_{i=0..n-m} abs(stirling1(i+k,k)) *binomial(m-k,n-m-i) *2^(-n+m+i) /(i+k)!))/m!; a(0)=1. - Vladimir Kruchinin, Feb 01 2011
a(n) = A000166(n) - A158243(n). - Paul Weisenhorn, May 29 2010
a(n) = (n-1)*a(n-1) + (n-1)*(n-2)*a(n-3). - Peter Bala, Apr 18 2012
a(n) ~ n! * exp(-3/2). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 30 2013

EXAMPLE
|
a(5) = 24 because, with a minimum cycle size of 3, the only way to derange all 5 elements is to have them move around in one large 5-cycle. The number of possible moves is (5-1)! = 4! = 24.
