If M is the n X n matrix filled with ones, a(n) is the upper left element of (M-Id)^n

Table of n, a(n) for n=2..20.

Formula

a(n) = floor((n-1)^n/n) + ((-1)^n+1)/2

a(n) = floor((n-1)^n/n)+1 for n odd, a(n) = floor((n-1)^n/n) for n even.

Example

In a complete graph in 5 nodes, there are 204 different cycles with a length of 5, from a point to itself.
