For n >= 1 a(n) is the size of the centralizer of a transposition in the symmetric group S_(n+1). - Ahmed Fares (ahmedfares(AT)my-deja.com), May 12 2001
For n > 0, a(n) = n! - A062119(n-1) = number of permutations of length n that have two specified elements adjacent. For example, a(4) = 12 as of the 24 permutations, 12 have say 1 and 2 adjacent: 1234, 2134, 1243, 2143, 3124, 3214, 4123, 4213, 3412, 3421, 4312, 4321. - Jon Perry, Jun 08 2003
With different offset, denominators of certain sums computed by Ramanujan.
Stirling transform of a(n) = [2, 4, 12, 48, 240, ...] is A000629(n) = [2, 6, 26, 150, 1082, ...].
Stirling transform of a(n-1) = [1, 2, 4, 12, 48, ...] is A007047(n-1) = [1, 3, 11, 51, 299, ...].
Stirling transform of a(n) = [1, 4, 12, 48, 240, ...] is A002050(n) = [1, 5, 25, 149, 1081, ...].
Stirling transform of 2*A006252(n) = [2, 2, 4, 8, 28, ...] is a(n) = [2, 4, 12, 48, 240, ...].
Stirling transform of a(n+1) = [4, 12, 48, 240, ...] is 2*A005649(n) = [4, 16, 88, 616, ...].
Stirling transform of a(n+1) = [4, 12, 48, 240, ...] is 4*A083410(n) = [4, 16, 88, 616, ...]. (End)
Number of {12, 12*, 21, 21*}-avoiding signed permutations in the hyperoctahedral group.
Permanent of the (0, 1)-matrices with (i, j)-th entry equal to 0 if and only if it is in the border but not the corners. The border of a matrix is defined the be the first and the last row, together with the first and the last column. The corners of a matrix are the entries (i = 1, j = 1), (i = 1, j = n), (i = n, j = 1) and (i = n, j = n). - Simone Severini, Oct 17 2004

FORMULA

a(n) = T(n, 2) for n>1, where T is defined as in A080046.
D-finite with recurrence: {a(0) = 0, a(1) = 2, (-1 - n)*a(n+1) + a(n+2)=0}.
E.g.f.: 2*x/(1-x).
For n >= 1, a(n) = (n+3)!*Sum_{k=0..n+2} (-1)^k*binomial(2, k)/(n + 3 - k). - Milan Janjic, Dec 14 2008
G.f.: 2/Q(0) - 2, where Q(k) = 1 - x*(k + 1)/(1 - x*(k + 1)/Q(k+1) ); (continued fraction ). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Apr 01 2013
G.f.: -2 + 2/Q(0), where Q(k) = 1 + k*x - x*(k+1)/Q(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, May 01 2013
G.f.: W(0) - 2 , where W(k) = 1 + 1/( 1 - x*(k+1)/( x*(k+1) + 1/W(k+1) )); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Aug 21 2013
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = (e-1)/2.
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = (e-1)/(2*e). (End)
