FORMULA
a(n) = 2*sum(j=0..(n-1)/2, (sum(i=0..(n-2*j)/2, (2*i-n+2*j)^n*C(n-2*j,i)*(-1)^(n-j-i)))/(2^(n-2*j)*(n-2*j)!)), n>0, a(0)=1. - Vladimir Kruchinin, Jun 10 2011
a(n) = D^n(exp(x)) evaluated at x = 0, where D is the operator sqrt(1-x^2)*d/dx. Cf. A003724. - Peter Bala, Dec 06 2011
E.g.f.: 1 + sin(x)/T(0), where T(k) = 4*k+1 - sin(x)/(2 + sin(x)/(4*k+3 - sin(x)/(2 + sin(x)/T(k+1) ); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Dec 03 2013
E.g.f.: 2/Q(0), where Q(k) = 1 + 1/( 1 - sin(x)/( sin(x) - (k+1)/Q(k+1) )); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Dec 16 2013
E.g.f.: E(0)-1, where E(k) = 2 + sin(x)/(2*k + 1 - sin(x)/E(k+1) ); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Dec 23 2013
a(n) = (n-1)!*sum(k=0..(n-1)/2, (-1)^(k)/(2*k)!*a(n-2*k-1)/(n-2*k-1)!), a(0)=1. - Vladimir Kruchinin, Feb 25 2015
EXAMPLE
For n=6, there are 6 partitions with part sizes [5,1], 10 with sizes [3^2], 20 with sizes [3,1^3], and 1 with sizes [1^6]; 6 + 10 - 20 + 1 = -3. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Apr 29 2010
