a(n) is also the number of fixed points in all those permutations of [n-1] that have no adjacent fixed points. Example: a(4)=3 because in 132, 213, 231, 312, 321 we have 1+1+0+0+1 fixed points.
a(n) is also the number of permutations of [n] having exactly 1 pair of adjacent fixed points. Example: a(4)=3 because we have 1243, 4231, and 2134.

FORMULA
|
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} k*binomial(n-k,k)*d(n-1-k), where d(j)=A000166(j) are the derangement numbers.

|
EXAMPLE
|
a(4)=3 because in 1*243, 1324, 13*42, 142*3, 1432 we have 3 successions (marked *).
