Alois P. Heinz, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..592

Example

a(3) = 4: 123, 12|3, 13|2, 1|23.
a(4) = 3: 1234, 1|23|4, 1|24|3.
a(5) = 20: 12345, 1234|5, 1235|4, 123|45, 1245|3, 124|35, 125|34, 12|345, 12|3|45, 1345|2, 134|25, 135|24, 13|245, 13|2|45, 145|23, 14|235, 15|234, 1|2345, 14|2|35, 15|2|34.

Maple

b:= proc(n, t) option remember; `if`(n=0, 1, add(
      `if`((i+t)::odd, b(n-i, 1-t)*binomial(n-1, i-1), 0), i=1..n))
    end:
a:= n-> `if`(n=0, 1, b(n, 0)+b(n, 1)):
seq(a(n), n=0..35);

Mathematica

b[n_, t_] := b[n, t] = If[n==0, 1, Sum[If[OddQ[i+t], b[n-i, 1-t] * Binomial[n-1, i-1], 0], {i, 1, n}]]; a[n_] := If[n==0, 1, b[n, 0] + b[n, 1]]; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 35}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Feb 27 2017, translated from Maple *)
