%N Number of permutations in the symmetric group S_n such that the size of their centralizer is odd.

%C a(n) is the number of n-permutations composed only of odd cycles of distinct length. - _Geoffrey Critzer_, Mar 08 2013

%C Also the number of permutations p of [n] with unique (functional) square root, i.e., there exists a unique permutation g such that g^2 = p. - _Keith J. Bauer_, Jan 08 2024
