Euler (1809) not only gives the first ten or so terms of the sequence, he also proves both recurrences a(n) = (n-1)*(a(n-1) + a(n-2)) and a(n) = n*a(n-1) + (-1)^n.
a(n) is the permanent of the matrix with 0 on the diagonal and 1 elsewhere. - Yuval Dekel, Nov 01 2003
a(n) is the number of desarrangements of length n. A desarrangement of length n is a permutation p of {1,2,...,n} for which the smallest of all the ascents of p (taken to be n if there are no ascents) is even. Example: a(3) = 2 because we have 213 and 312 (smallest ascents at i = 2). See the J. Désarménien link and the Bona reference (p. 118). - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 28 2007
a(n) is the number of deco polyominoes of height n and having in the last column an even number of cells. A deco polyomino is a directed column-convex polyomino in which the height, measured along the diagonal, is attained only in the last column. - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 28 2007
Attributed to Nicholas Bernoulli in connection with a probability problem that he presented. See Problem #15, p. 494, in "History of Mathematics" by David M. Burton, 6th edition. - Mohammad K. Azarian, Feb 25 2008
a(n) is the number of permutations p of {1,2,...,n} with p(1)!=1 and having no right-to-left minima in consecutive positions. Example a(3) = 2 because we have 231 and 321. - Emeric Deutsch, Mar 12 2008
a(n) is the number of permutations p of {1,2,...,n} with p(n)! = n and having no left to right maxima in consecutive positions. Example a(3) = 2 because we have 312 and 321. - Emeric Deutsch, Mar 12 2008
Number of wedged (n-1)-spheres in the homotopy type of the Boolean complex of the complete graph K_n. - Bridget Tenner, Jun 04 2008
The only prime number in the sequence is 2. - Howard Berman (howard_berman(AT)hotmail.com), Nov 08 2008
From Emeric Deutsch, Apr 02 2009: (Start)
a(n) is the number of permutations of {1,2,...,n} having exactly one small ascent. A small ascent in a permutation (p_1,p_2,...,p_n) is a position i such that p_{i+1} - p_i = 1. (Example: a(3) = 2 because we have 312 and 231; see the Charalambides reference, pp. 176-180.) [See also David, Kendall and Barton, p. 263. - N. J. A. Sloane, Apr 11 2014]
a(n) is the number of permutations of {1,2,...,n} having exactly one small descent. A small descent in a permutation (p_1,p_2,...,p_n) is a position i such that p_i - p_{i+1} = 1. (Example: a(3)=2 because we have 132 and 213.) (End)
For n > 2, a(n) + a(n-1) = A000255(n-1); where A000255 = (1, 1, 3, 11, 53, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Apr 16 2009
Connection to A002469 (game of mousetrap with n cards): A002469(n) = (n-2)*A000255(n-1) + A000166(n). (Cf. triangle A159610.) - Gary W. Adamson, Apr 17 2009
From Emeric Deutsch, Jul 18 2009: (Start)
a(n) is the sum of the values of the largest fixed points of all non-derangements of length n-1. Example: a(4)=9 because the non-derangements of length 3 are 123, 132, 213, and 321, having largest fixed points 3, 1, 3, and 2, respectively.
a(n) is the number of non-derangements of length n+1 for which the difference between the largest and smallest fixed point is 2. Example: a(3) = 2 because we have 1'43'2 and 32'14'; a(4) = 9 because we have 1'23'54, 1'43'52, 1'53'24, 52'34'1, 52'14'3, 32'54'1, 213'45', 243'15', and 413'25' (the extreme fixed points are marked).
(End)
a(n), n >= 1, is also the number of unordered necklaces with n beads, labeled differently from 1 to n, where each necklace has >= 2 beads. This produces the M2 multinomial formula involving partitions without part 1 given below. Because M2(p) counts the permutations with cycle structure given by partition p, this formula gives the number of permutations without fixed points (no 1-cycles), i.e., the derangements, hence the subfactorials with their recurrence relation and inputs. Each necklace with no beads is assumed to contribute a factor 1 in the counting, hence a(0)=1. This comment derives from a family of recurrences found by Malin Sjodahl for a combinatorial problem for certain quark and gluon diagrams (Feb 27 2010). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jun 01 2010
From Emeric Deutsch, Sep 06 2010: (Start)
a(n) is the number of permutations of {1,2,...,n, n+1} starting with 1 and having no successions. A succession in a permutation (p_1,p_2,...,p_n) is a position i such that p_{i+1} - p_i = 1. Example: a(3)=2 because we have 1324 and 1432.
a(n) is the number of permutations of {1,2,...,n} that do not start with 1 and have no successions. A succession in a permutation (p_1,p_2,...,p_n) is a position i such that p_{i+1} - p_i = 1. Example: a(3)=2 because we have 213 and 321.

Increasing colored 1-2 trees with choice of two colors for the rightmost branch of nonleave except on the leftmost path, there is no vertex of outdegree one on the leftmost path. - Wenjin Woan, May 23 2011

The number of interior lattice points of the subpolytope of the n-dimensional permutohedron whose vertices correspond to permutations avoiding 132 and 312. - Robert Davis, Oct 05 2016
Consider n circles of different radii, where each circle is either put inside some bigger circle or contains a smaller circle inside it (no common points are allowed). Then a(n) gives the number of such combinations. - Anton Zakharov, Oct 12 2016
If we partition the permutations of [n+1] in A000240 according to their starting digit, we will get (n+1) equinumerous classes each of size a(n), i.e., A000240(n+1) = (n+1)*a(n), hence a(n) is the size of each class of permutations of [n+1] in A000240. For example, for n = 4 we have 45 = 5*9. - Enrique Navarrete, Jan 10 2017
Call d_n1 the permutations of [n] that have the substring n1 but no substring in {12,23,...,(n-1)n}. If we partition them according to their starting digit, we will get (n-1) equinumerous classes each of size A000166(n-2) (the class starting with the digit 1 is empty since we must have the substring n1). Hence d_n1 = (n-1)*A000166(n-2) and A000166(n-2) is the size of each nonempty class in d_n1. For example, d_71 = 6*44 = 264, so there are 264 permutations in d_71 distributed in 6 nonempty classes of size A000166(5) = 44. (To get permutations in d_n1 recursively from more basic ones see the link "Forbidden Patterns" below.) - Enrique Navarrete, Jan 15 2017
Also the number of maximum matchings and minimum edge covers in the n-crown graph. - Eric W. Weisstein, Jun 14 and Dec 24 2017
The sequence a(n) taken modulo a positive integer k is periodic with exact period dividing k when k is even and dividing 2*k when k is odd. This follows from the congruence a(n+k) = (-1)^k*a(n) (mod k) for all n and k, which in turn is easily proved by induction making use of the recurrence a(n) = n*a(n-1) + (-1)^n. - Peter Bala, Nov 21 2017
a(n) is the number of distinct possible solutions for a directed, no self loop containing graph (not necessarily connected) that has n vertices, and each vertex has an in- and out-degree of exactly 1. - Patrik Holopainen, Sep 18 2018
a(n) is the dimension of the kernel of the random-to-top and random-to-random shuffling operators over a collection of n objects (in a vector space of size n!), as noticed by M. Wachs and V. Reiner. See the Reiner, Saliola and Welker reference below. - Nadia Lafreniere, Jul 18 2019
a(n) is the number of distinct permutations for a Secret Santa gift exchange with n participants. - Patrik Holopainen, Dec 30 2019
a(2*n+1) is even. More generally, a(m*n+1) is divisible by m*n, which follows from a(n+1) = n*(a(n) + a(n-1)) = n*A000255(n-1) for n >= 1. a(2*n) is odd; in fact, a(2*n) == 1 (mod 8). Other divisibility properties include a(6*n) == 1 (mod 24), a(9*n+4) == a(9*n+7) == 0 (mod 9), a(10*n) == 1 (mod 40), a(11*n+5) == 0 (mod 11) and a(13*n+8 ) == 0 (mod 13). - Peter Bala, Apr 05 2022
Conjecture: a(n) with n > 2 is a perfect power only for n = 4 with a(4) = 3^2. This has been verified for n <= 1000. - Zhi-Wei Sun, Jan 09 2025

Examples

			a(2) = 1, a(3) = 2 and a(4) = 9 since the possibilities are {BA}, {BCA, CAB} and {BADC, BCDA, BDAC, CADB, CDAB, CDBA, DABC, DCAB, DCBA}. - _Henry Bottomley_, Jan 17 2001
The Boolean complex of the complete graph K_4 is homotopy equivalent to the wedge of 9 3-spheres.
Necklace problem for n = 6: partitions without part 1 and M2 numbers for n = 6: there are A002865(6) = 4 such partitions, namely (6), (2,4), (3^2) and (2^3) in A-St order with the M2 numbers 5!, 90, 40 and 15, respectively, adding up to 265 = a(6). This corresponds to 1 necklace with 6 beads, two necklaces with 2 and 4 beads respectively, two necklaces with 3 beads each and three necklaces with 2 beads each. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jun 01 2010
G.f. = 1 + x^2 + 9*x^3 + 44*x^4 + 265*x^5 + 1854*x^6 + 14833*x^7 + 133496*x^8 + ...

a(n) = Integral_{p=0..1} (log(1/(1-p)) - 1)^n dp.
Proof: Using the substitutions 1=log(e) and y = e(1-p) the above integral can be converted to ((-1)^n/e) Integral_{y=0..e} (log(y))^n dy.
From CRC Integral tables we find the antiderivative of (log(y))^n is (-1)^n n! Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k y(log(y))^k / k!.
Using the fact that e(log(e))^r = e for any r >= 0 and 0(log(0))^r = 0 for any r >= 0 the integral becomes n! * Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k / k!, which is line 9 of the Formula section. (End)

Also number of 0's (or B's) in the Wythoff representation of n -- see the Reble link. See also A135817 for references and links for the Wythoff representation for n >= 1. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 21 2008; N. J. A. Sloane, Jun 28 2008
Or, a(n) is the number of applications of Wythoff's B sequence A001950 needed in the unique Wythoff representation of n >= 1. E.g., 16 = A(B(A(A(B(1))))) = ABAAB = `10110`, hence a(16) = 2. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 21 2008
Let M(0) = 0, M(1) = 1 and for i > 0, M(i+1) = f(concatenation of M(j), j from 0 to i - 1) where f is the morphism f(k) = k + 1. Then the sequence is the concatenation of M(j) for j from 0 to infinity. - Claude Lenormand (claude.lenormand(AT)free.fr), Dec 16 2003

Let m be the number of parts in the listing of the compositions of n into parts 1 and 2 as lists of parts in lexicographic order, a(k) = n - length(composition(k)) for all k < Fibonacci(n) and all n (see example).

a(n) = A104324(n) - A213911(n); row lengths in A035516 and A035516. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 10 2013
a(n) is also the minimum number of Fibonacci numbers which sum to n, regardless of adjacency or duplication. - Alan Worley, Apr 17 2015
This follows from the fact that the sequence is subadditive: a(n+m) <= a(n) + a(m) for nonnegative integers n,m. See Lemma 2.1 of the Stoll link. - Robert Israel, Apr 17 2015
From Michel Dekking, Mar 08 2020: (Start)
This sequence is a morphic sequence on an infinite alphabet, i.e., (a(n)) is a letter-to-letter projection of a fixed point of a morphism tau.
The alphabet is {0,1,...,j,...}X{0,1}, and tau is given by
tau((j,0)) = (j,0) (j+1,1),
tau((j,1)) = (j,0).
The letter-to-letter map is given by the projection on the first coordinate: (j,i)->j for i=0,1.
To prove this, note first that the second coordinate of the letters generates the infinite Fibonacci word = A003849 = 0100101001001....
This implies that for all n and j one has
|tau^n(j,0)| = F(n+2),
where |w| denotes the length of a word w, and (F(n)) = A000045 are the Fibonacci numbers.
Secondly, we need the following simple, but crucial observation. Let the Zeckendorf representation of n be Z(n) = A014417(n). For example,
Z(0) = 0, Z(1) = 1, Z(2) = 10, Z(3) = 100, Z(4) = 101, Z(5) = 1000.
From the unicity of the Zeckendorf representation it follows that for the positions i = 0,1,...,F(n)-1 one has
Z(F(n+1)+i) = 10...0 Z(i),
where zeros are added to Z(i) to give the total representation length n-1.
This gives for i = 0,1,...,F(n)-1 that
a(F(n+1)+i) = a(i) + 1.
From the first observation follows that the first F(n+1) letters of tau^n(j,0) are equal to tau^{n-1}(j,0), and the last F(n) letters of tau^n(j,0) are equal to tau^{n-1}(j+1,1) = tau^{n-2}(j+1,0).
Combining this with the second observation shows that the first coordinate of the fixed point of tau, starting from (0,0), gives (a(n)).
It is of course possible to obtain a morphism tau' on the natural numbers by changing the alphabet: (j,0)-> 2j (j,1)-> 2j+1, which yields the morphism
tau'(2j) = 2j, 2j+3, tau'(2j+1) = 2j.
The fixed point of tau' starting with 0 is
u = 03225254254472544747625...
The corresponding letter-to-letter map lambda is given by lambda(2j)=j, lambda(2j+1)= j. Then lambda(u) = (a(n)).

Suppose you have a group of married couples (plus perhaps one other person).
You wish to organize a gift exchange so that:
- each person gives and receives one gift.
- no one gives himself a gift.
- no one gives his/her spouse a gift.
Then the sequence gives the number of ways that this can be done. (End)

We define a hypergraph to be any finite set of finite nonempty sets. A hypergraph is uniform if all edges have the same size, and regular if all vertices have the same degree. The span of a hypergraph is the union of its edges.
Also the number of 0-1 matrices with n columns, all distinct rows, no zero columns, equal row-sums, and equal column-sums, up to a permutation of the rows.

Examples

			The a(4) = 10 edge-sets:
               {{1,2,3,4}}
              {{1,2},{3,4}}
              {{1,3},{2,4}}
              {{1,4},{2,3}}
            {{1},{2},{3},{4}}
        {{1,2},{1,3},{2,4},{3,4}}
        {{1,2},{1,4},{2,3},{3,4}}
        {{1,3},{1,4},{2,3},{2,4}}
    {{1,2,3},{1,2,4},{1,3,4},{2,3,4}}

Comments

A non-normal semi-magic rectangle is a nonnegative integer matrix with row sums and column sums all equal to d, for some d|n.
Rectangles must be of size k X m where k and m are divisors of n and k*m >= n. This implies that a(p) = p! + 2 for p prime since the only allowable rectangles are of sizes 1 X 1, 1 X p, p X 1 and p X p. There are no 1 X 1 rectangle that satisfies the condition. The 1 X p and p X 1 rectangles are [1....1] and its transpose, the p X p rectangle are necessarily permutation matrices and there are p! permutation matrices of size p X p. It also shows that a(n) >= n! + 2 for n > 1. - Chai Wah Wu, Jan 13 2019

From Eduard I. Vatutin, Oct 04 2020: (Start)
A diagonal Latin square is a Latin square in which both the main diagonal and main antidiagonal contain each element.
A diagonal transversal is a transversal that includes exactly one element from the main diagonal and exactly one from the antidiagonal. For squares of odd orders, these elements can coincide at the intersection of the diagonals. (End)
A007016 is an upper bound for the number of diagonal transversals in a Latin square: A287647(n) <= a(n) <= A007016(n). - Eduard I. Vatutin, Jan 02 2020
a(11) >= 4828, a(12) >= 24901, a(13) >= 131106, a(14) >= 364596, a(15) >= 389318. - Natalia Makarova, Tomáš Brada, Harry White, Oct 04 2020
a(16) >= 32172800, a(18) >= 280308432. - Natalia Makarova, Tomáš Brada, Dec 25 2020
a(12) >= 28496. - Natalia Makarova, Harry White, Jan 23 2021
a(14) >= 380718, a(20) >= 90010806304, a(21) >= 51162162017, a(22) >= 3227747329246. The number of D-transversals for orders 20 - 22 was calculated by a volunteer. - Natalia Makarova, Tomáš Brada, Harry White, Mar 17 2021
All cyclic diagonal Latin squares (see A338562) are diagonal Latin squares, so A342997((n-1)/2) <= a(n). - Eduard I. Vatutin, Apr 26 2021
a(14) >= 383578, a(15) >= 398974. - Natalia Makarova, Tomáš Brada, Jan 13 2022
a(10) >= 890, a(12) >= 30192, a(14) >= 490218, a(15) >= 4620434, a(17) >= 204995269, a(18) >= 281593874, a(19) >= 11254190082. - Eduard I. Vatutin, Jul 22 2020, updated Mar 01 2025
For most orders n, at least one diagonal Latin square with the maximal number of diagonal transversals has an orthogonal mate and a(n) = A360220(n). Known exceptions: n=6 and n=10. - Eduard I. Vatutin, Feb 17 2023

Examples

			For example, the diagonal Latin square
  0 1 2 3
  3 2 1 0
  1 0 3 2
  2 3 0 1
has 4 diagonal transversals:
  0 . . .    . 1 . .    . . 2 .    . . . 3
  . . 1 .    . . . 0    3 . . .    . 2 . .
  . . . 2    . . 3 .    . 0 . .    1 . . .
  . 3 . .    2 . . .    . . . 1    . . 0 .
In addition there are 4 other transversals that are not diagonal transversals and are therefore not included here.
From _Natalia Makarova_, Oct 04 2020: (Start)
The following DLS of order 14 has 364596 diagonal transversals:
   0  7  6 11  9  3  4  5  2 12 13  8 10  1

First differs from A137944 in lacking 120.
The Heinz number of an integer partition (y_1, ..., y_k) is prime(y_1) * ... * prime(y_k).

Examples

			6480 belongs to the sequence because it is the Heinz number of (3,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,1), which can be arranged in the following ways:
  [1 1 3] [1 2 2] [1 2 2] [1 3 1] [2 1 2] [2 1 2] [2 2 1] [2 2 1] [3 1 1]
