Original definition: Number of permutations with no hits on 2 main diagonals. (Identical to definition of A000316.) - M. F. Hasler, Sep 27 2015
Card-matching numbers (Dinner-Diner matching numbers): A deck has n kinds of cards, 2 of each kind. The deck is shuffled and dealt in to n hands with 2 cards each. A match occurs for every card in the j-th hand of kind j. A(n) is the number of ways of achieving no matches. The probability of no matches is A(n)/((2n)!/2!^n).
Also, Penrice's Christmas gift numbers (see Penrice 1991).
a(n) is the maximal number of totally mixed Nash equilibria in games of n players, each with 3 pure options. - Raimundas Vidunas, Jan 22 2014

FORMULA

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} Sum_{m=0..n-k} (-1)^k * n!/(k!*m!*(n-k-m)!) * 2^(2*k+m-n) * (2*n-2*m-k)!. - Max Alekseyev, Oct 06 2016
G.f.: Sum_{j=0..n*k} coeff(R(x, n, k), x, j)*(t-1)^j*(n*k-j)! where n is the number of kinds of cards, k is the number of cards of each kind (2 in this case) and coeff(R(x, n, k), x, j) is the coefficient of x^j of the rook polynomial R(x, n, k) = (k!^2*sum(x^j/((k-j)!^2*j!))^n (see Riordan or Stanley).
D-finite with recurrence a(n) = n*(2*n-1)*a(n-1)+2*n*(n-1)*a(n-2)-(2*n-1), a(1) = 0, a(2) = 1.
a(n) = round(2^(n/2 + 3/4)*Pi^(-1/2)*exp(-2)*n!*BesselK(1/2+n,2^(1/2))). - Mark van Hoeij, Oct 30 2011
(2*n+3)*a(n+3)=(2*n+5)^2*(n+2)*a(n+2)+(2*n+3)*(n+2)*a(n+1)-2*(2*n+5)*(n+1)*(n+2)*a(n). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 31 2012
Asymptotic: a(n) ~ n^(2*n)*2^(n+1)*sqrt(Pi*n)/exp(2*n+2), Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 31 2012
a(n) = (1/2^n)*A000316(n) = int_{0..inf} exp(-x)*(1/2*x^2 - 2*x + 1)^n dx. Asymptotic: a(n) ~ ((2*n)!/2^n)*exp(-2)*( 1 - 1/(2*n) - 23/(96*n^2) + O(1/n^3) ). See Nicolaescu. - Peter Bala, Jul 07 2014
Let S = x_1 + ... + x_n. a(n) equals the coefficient of (x_1*...*x_n)^2 in the expansion of product {i = 1..n} (S - x_i)^2 (MacMahon, Chapter III). - Peter Bala, Jul 08 2014
Conjecture: a(n+k) - a(n) is divisible by k. - Mark van Hoeij, Nov 15 2023

EXAMPLE
|
There are 297 ways of achieving zero matches when there are 2 cards of each kind and 4 kinds of card so a(4)=297.
a(3) = 10: the 10 permutations of the multiset {1,1,2,2,3,3} that have no fixed points are
{2,2,3,3,1,1}, {3,3,1,1,2,2}
{2,3,1,3,1,2}, {2,3,1,3,2,1}
{2,3,3,1,1,2}, {2,3,3,1,2,1}
{3,2,1,3,1,2}, {3,2,1,3,2,1}
{3,2,3,1,1,2}, {3,2,3,1,2,1}
(End)
