%C A007680 Denominators in series for sqrt(pi/4)*erf(x): sqrt(pi/4)*erf(x)= x/1 
               - x^3/3 + x^5/10 - x^7/42 + x^9/216 -+ ... This series is famous 
               for its bad convergence if x > 1
%C A007680 Appears to be the BinomialMean transform of A000354 (after truncating 
               the first term of A000354). (See A075271 for the definition of BinomialMean.)

%C A007680 Number of permutations p of {1,2,...,n+2} such that max|p(i)-i|=n+1. 
               Example: a(1)=3 since only the permutations 312,231 and 321 of {1,
               2,3} satisfy the given condition. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu),

%C A007680 Stirling transform of A000670(n+1)=[3,13,75,541,...] is a(n)=[3,10,42,
               216,...]. - Michael Somos Mar 04 2004
%C A007680 Stirling transform of a(n)=[2,10,42,216,...] is A052875(n+1)=[2,12,74,
               ...]. - Michael Somos Mar 04 2004
%C A007680 A related sequence also arises in evaluating indefinite integrals of 
               sec(x)^(2k+1), k=0, 1, 2, ... Letting u = sec(x) and d = sqrt(u^2-1), 
               one obtains a(0) = ln(u+d) 2*k*a(k) = (2*k-1)*u^(2*k-1)*d + a(k-1). 
               Viewing these as polynomials in u gives 2^k*k!*a(k) = a(0) + d*Sum(i=0..k-1){ 
               (2*i+1)*i!*2^i*u^(2*i+1) }, which is easily proved by induction. 
               Apart from the power of 2, which could be incorporated into the definition 
               of u (or by looking at erf(ix/2)/ i (i=sqrt(-1)), the sum's coefficients 
               form our series and are the reciprocals of the power series terms 
               for -sqrt(-pi/4)*erf(ix/2)). This yields a direct but somewhat mysterious 
               relationship between the power series of erf(x) and integrals involving 
               sec(x). - William A. Huber (whuber(AT)quantdec.com), Mar 14 2002
