Table of n, a(n) for n=2..26.

Formula

E.g.f.: (1 - x^2) * (exp(x^2) - 1)/(2 * (1 - x)).

a(n) = A081125(n)/2.

From Amiram Eldar, Jul 26 2022: (Start)

Sum_{n>=2} 1/a(n) = 3*exp(1/4)*sqrt(Pi)*erf(1/2) - 2, where erf is the error function.

Sum_{n>=2} (-1)^n/a(n) = 2 - exp(1/4)*sqrt(Pi)*erf(1/2). (End)

Mathematica

a[n_] := n!/(2 * Floor[n/2]!); Array[a, 25, 2] (* Amiram Eldar, Jul 22 2022 *)
