Programs

Maple

swing := proc(n) option remember; if n = 0 then 1 elif
irem(n, 2) = 1 then swing(n-1)*n else 4*swing(n-1)/n fi end:
a := proc(n) local i,k; add(add((-1)^(n-i)*binomial(n-k,n-i)*swing(i),i=k..n), k=0..n) end:

Mathematica

sf[n_] := n!/Quotient[n, 2]!^2; t[n_, k_] := Sum[(-1)^(n - i)*Binomial[n - k, n - i]*sf[i], {i, k, n}]; Table[Sum[t[n, k], {k, 0, n}], {n, 0, 50}] (* G. C. Greubel, Aug 03 2017 *)

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} Sum_{i=k..n} (-1)^(n-i)*binomial(n-k,n-i)*i$ where i$ denotes the swinging factorial of i (A056040).
