%F E.g.f.: (x^k/k!)*exp(x^2/(1-x))/(1-x) where k=2. - _Joerg Arndt_, Jul 11 2011

%F a(n) = (n!/2)*Sum_{m=0..n-2} (-1^m/m!)*Sum_{j=0..n-m} C(n-m,j)/j!;

%F (n-2)*a(n) = n*(2*n-5)*a(n-1) - n*(n-1)*(n-5)*a(n-2) - n*(n-1)*(n-2)*a(n-3), a(2)=1 and a(n)=0 if n < 2.

%F a(n) ~ n^(n + 1/4) * exp(2*sqrt(n) - 3/2 - n) / 2^(3/2) * (1 - 17/(48*sqrt(n))). - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Dec 01 2021

%F a(n) = (n!/2) * Sum_{k=0..n-2} binomial(k,n-2-k)/(n-2-k)!. - _Seiichi Manyama_, Aug 06 2024

%e a(3) = 3 because there are exactly 3 partial bijections (on a 3-element set) with exactly 2 fixed points, namely: (1,2)->(1,2), (1,3)->(1,3), (2,3)->(2,3) - the mappings are coordinate-wise.
