Comments

a(n) is one of two "basis" sequences for sequences of the form s(0)=a,s(1)=b,s(n)=(n+1)(s(n-1)+s(n-2)), n>1, the other being A006347.

s(n) = a*a(n) + b* A006347(n+1).

s(n) = 1/2*(b-2*a)(n+2)! +(3*a-b)*floor(((n+2)!+1)/e).

Formula

a(n) = 3*floor(((n+2)!+1)/e) - (n+2)!.

a(n) = 3* A000166(n+1) - (n+2)!, where A000166 are the subfactorial numbers.

Example

a(2)= 3*9-24=3, a(3)= 3*44-120=12, a(4)= 3*265-720=75, ...

Maple

seq(3*floor(((n+2)!+1)/E) - (n+2)!, n=1..20);
