%N The number of cycles over all even permutations of {1,2,...,n}.

%C a(n) = Sum Stirling1(n,k)*k where the sum is taken over even k for even n and odd k for odd n.

%H Alois P. Heinz, <a href="/A226170/b226170.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..200</a>

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n, 2|(n+k)} k*Stirling1(n,k).

%F E.g.f.: ((1+x)*log(1+x)-log(1-x)/(1-x))/2. - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, May 30 2013

%F a(n) ~ n! * (log(n) + gamma)/2, where gamma is Euler-Mascheroni constant (A001620). - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, May 30 2013

%e a(3) = 5 because the even permutations of [3]: (1)(2)(3), (1,2,3), (1,3,2) have a total of 5 cycles.

%p a:= n-> add(`if`(irem(n+k, 2)=0, k*stirling1(n, k), 0), k=1..n):
