COMMENTS

a(n) is the determinant of the n X n matrix M_(i,j) = ((i+j) mod n) where i and j range from 0 to n-1. - Benoit Cloitre, Nov 29 2002
|a(n)| = number of labeled mappings from n points to themselves (endofunctions) with an even number of cycles. E.g.f.: (1/2)*LambertW(-x)^2/(1+LambertW(-x)). - Vladeta Jovovic, Mar 30 2006

FORMULA
|
a(n) = (-1)^floor(n/2)*(1/2)*(n-1)*n^(n-1). - Benoit Cloitre, Nov 29 2002
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
a(3) = -9 because the determinant of {{0,1,2}, {1,2,0}, {2,0,1}} is -9.
