Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

a(1) = 1, a(2) = 2, next terms up to a(2n-1) are obtained by multiplying previous terms a(n-1) by n+1, a(n-2) by n+2 etc. a(2) by (2n-2) and a(1) by 2n-1. On similar lines a(2n) = 2n*a(2n-2), a(2n+1) = (2n+1)*a(2n-1) and so on.

COMMENTS
Might be called a self-dependent or bootstrap sequences. a(n) is a multiple of n by definition. Subsidiary sequences: (i) next n-1 numbers are n times the previous n-1 terms and many more such sequences by variations in coefficients. (ii) a(n) = A(109844(n))/n.
EXAMPLE
a(9) = 9 a(10)= 10*a(8) = 10*16 = 160., a(11)= 11*21 = 189.
