cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A181991 n-alternating permutations of length 4n.

Formula

a(n) = (4*n)!*(-1/(4*n)! + 2/(n!*(3*n)!) + 1/(2*n)!^2 - 3/(n!^2*(2*n)!) + 1/n!^4). - Peter Luschny, Aug 13 2015
