Alois P. Heinz, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..227

Formula

a(n) = A186370(2n+1,n+1).

a(n) ~ c * d^n * n!^2, where d = 3.4210546206711870249402157940795853513031388... and c = 0.974460718185930534652526741942010711752... - Vaclav Kotesovec, Apr 29 2018

Example

a(1) = 3: 132, 231, 321.

Maple

b:= proc(n, k) option remember; `if`(k=0,
      `if`(n=0, 1, 0), `if`(k<0 or k>n, 0,
       k*b(n-1, k)+b(n-1, k-1)+(n-k+1)*b(n-1, k-2)))
    end:
a:= n-> b(2*n+1, n+1):
seq(a(n), n=0..20);

Mathematica

b[n_, k_] := b[n, k] = If[k == 0,
    If[n == 0, 1, 0], If[k < 0 || k > n, 0,
    k b[n-1, k] + b[n-1, k-1] + (n-k+1) b[n-1, k-2]]];
a[n_] := b[2n+1, n+1];
