a(n) is the number of ways of covering K_n with cycles of length >= 3. Also number of 'frames' on n lines: given n lines in general position (none parallel and no three concurrent), a frame is a subset of n of the e C(n,2) points of intersection such that no three points are on the same line. - Mitch Harris, Jul 06 2006

a(n) ~ n!*exp(-3/4)/sqrt(Pi*n).
E.g.f.: exp(-x/2-x^2/4)/sqrt(1-x).
D-finite with recurrence a(n+1) = n*(a(n)+a(n-2)*(n-1)/2).
1/4^n * Sum_{b=0..floor(n/2)} Sum_{g=0..n-2*b} (-1)^(b+g) * 2^(2b+g) * n! * (2n-4b-2g)! / (b! * g! * (n-2b-g)!^2). - Shanzhen Gao, Jun 05 2009
a(n) = (-1)^n*n!*Sum_{k=0..n}(3/4)^k*binomial(-1/2, n - k)*hypergeom([1/2, -k], [1/2 - n + k], 1/3)/ k!. - Peter Luschny, Aug 26 2017
