Table of n, a(n) for n=0..34.

Formula

a(2*n) = A001791(n).

a(2*n+1) = A000917(n-1).

a(n) = n^(n mod 2)*binomial(2*floor(n/2), floor(n/2)-1).

a(n) = A162246(n, n+2) = n!/((n-ceiling((n+2)/2))!*floor((n+2)/2)!)) if n > 1, otherwise 0.

a(n) = A056040(n)*floor(n/2)/(floor(n/2)+1).

a(n) + A056040(n) = A057977(n).

G.f.: -((p - 1 - x*(p - 1 + 2*x*(2*p - 3 + x*(3 + 4*x - 2*p))))/(2*x^2*p^3)), where p=sqrt(1-4*x^2). - Benedict W. J. Irwin, Aug 15 2016
