FORMULA
a(n) = A337302(n)*n!.
a(n) = n!*A000316(floor(n/2)). - Andrew Howroyd, Mar 26 2023
EXAMPLE
One of the 96 X-based fillings of diagonals of a diagonal Latin square for order n=4:
1 . . 0
. 0 1 .
. 3 2 .
2 . . 3
PROG
(PARI) \\ here b(n) is A000459.
b(n) = {sum(m=0, n, sum(k=0, n-m, (-1)^k * binomial(n, k) * binomial(n-k, m) * 2^(2*k+m-n) * (2*n-2*m-k)! )); }
a(n) = {2^(n\2) * b(n\2) * n!} \\ Andrew Howroyd, Mar 26 2023
