COMMENTS

A partition of {-n,...,-1,1,...,n} into nonempty subsets X_1,...,X_r is called `symmetric' if for each i -X_i = X_j for some j. a(n) is the number of such symmetric partitions such that none of the X_i are of the form {j,-j}.

FORMULA
|
E.g.f. (for offset 1): -1 + exp(-x+sum(j=1,2,(exp(j*x)-1)/j)) [Joerg Arndt, Apr 29 2011]
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
a(2)=4 because the relevant partitions of {-2,-1,1,2} are {-2|-1|1|2}, {-2,-1|1,2}, {-2,1|-1,2} and {-2,-1,1,2}.
