FORMULA
|
a(2n) = (n+1)(n!)^2;
a(2n+1) = n!(n+2)!
E.g.f.: 24*sqrt(4-x^2)*arcsin(x/2)/[(2-x)^3*(2+x)^2] - x(6-8x-3x^2+2x^3)/ [(2+x)(2-x)^2].
G.f.: G(0)/x^2 -1/x^2 -2/x, where G(k) = 1 + x*(k+2)/(1 - x*(k+1)/ (x*(k+1) + 1/G(k+1))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jun 07 2013
D-finite with recurrence 4*a(n) -2*a(n-1) -(n+2)*(n-1)*a(n-2)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Jul 24 2022

EXAMPLE
|
a(4) = 12 because we have 2413, 2431, 4213, 4231, 1243, 1423 and their reverses.
