FORMULA

For the unsigned sequence, a(n)=n[2a(n-1)+3-n]/2, a(0)=0. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Oct 24 2001

a(n) = (-1)^(n-1)/2*floor(n!*exp(1)+n-1), n>0. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Aug 17 2002

The defining generating function simplifies to x(2+x)exp(-x)/[2(1+x)]. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Nov 16 2007

MAPLE

g:=(1/2)*x*(2+x)*exp(-x)/(1+x): gser:=series(g, x=0, 25): seq(factorial(n)*coeff(gser, x, n), n=0..20); - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Nov 16 2007

MATHEMATICA

Sinh[ Log[ 1+x ] ]/Exp[ x ]

PROGRAM

(MAGMA) f := function(n) nn := n; for i := 2 to n do nn := nn+Factorial(n)/(Factorial(n-i)*2); end for; return nn; end function;
