Partition the set {1,2,...,n+2} into an even number of subsets. Arrange (linearly order) the elements within each subset and then arrange the subsets. - Geoffrey Critzer, Mar 03 2010

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (n+2)!*C(n,k).

Prepend the sequence with 1,0, then e.g.f. is (1-x)^2/(1-2*x). - Geoffrey Critzer, Mar 03 2010

E.g.f.: 2/(1-2*x)^3. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 27 2011

a(n) = 2*A051578(n). - R. J. Mathar, Apr 26 2017

a(n) = (n+2)! * 2^n. - Joerg Arndt, May 05 2019

From Amiram Eldar, Jul 04 2020: (Start)

Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 4*sqrt(e) - 6.

Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = 4/sqrt(e) - 2. (End)
