Formula

G.f.: Sum_{k>=1} k! * x^(k+1) / (1+x^2)^(k+1).

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)-1} (-1)^k * (n-k-1)! / k!.

Example

The permutations of {1,2,3} having exactly one adjacent 2-cycle are (12)(3) and (1)(23). So a(3) = 2.

Prog

(PARI) my(N=30, x='x+O('x^N)); concat([0, 0], Vec(sum(k=1, N, k!*x^(k+1)/(1+x^2)^(k+1))))
(PARI) a(n, k=1, q=2) = sum(j=0, n\q-k, (-1)^j*(n-(q-1)*(j+k))!/j!)/k!;
