Number of {12, 12*, 1*2, 21, 21*}-avoiding signed permutations in the hyperoctahedral group.
a(n) is the hook product of the shape (n, 1). - Emeric Deutsch, May 13 2004
(1+(x-1)*exp(x))/x = Sum_{k >= 1} x^k/a(k).
Setting x = 1 yields Sum_{k >= 1} 1/a(k) = 1. [Jolley eq 302] (End)
With regard to the comment by Jaume Oliver Lafont: P(n) = 1/a(n) is a probability distribution, with all values given as unit fractions. This distribution is connected to the Irwin-Hall distribution: Consider successively drawn random numbers, uniformly distributed in [0,1]. 1/a(n) is the probability for the sum of the random numbers exceeding 1 exactly with the (n+1)-th summand. P(n) has mean e-1 and variance 3e-e^2. From this we get e as the expected number of summands. - Manfred Boergens, May 20 2024
For n >= 2, a(n) is the size of the largest conjugacy class of the symmetric group on n + 1 letters. Equivalently, the maximum entry in each row of A036039. - Geoffrey Critzer, May 19 2013
In factorial base representation (A007623) the terms are written as: 10, 11, 110, 1100, 11000, 110000, ... From a(2) = 3 = "11" onward each term begins always with two 1's, followed by n-2 zeros. - Antti Karttunen, Sep 24 2016
a(n) is the number of permutations of [n+1] in which all the elements of [n] are cycle-mates, that is, 1,..,n are all in the same cycle. This result is readily shown after noting that the elements of [n] can be members of a n-cycle or an (n+1)-cycle. Hence a(n)=(n-1)!+n!. See an example below. - Dennis P. Walsh, May 24 2020

FORMULA

a(n) = (n+1)*(n-1)!.
The sequence 1, 3, 8, ... has g.f. (1+x-x^2)/(1-x)^2 and a(n) = n!(n + 2 - 0^n) = n!A065475(n) (offset 0). - Paul Barry, May 14 2004
a(n) = (n+1)!/n. - Claude Lenormand (claude.lenormand(AT)free.fr), Aug 24 2003
Factorial expansion of 1: 1 = sum_{n > 0} 1/a(n) [Jolley eq 302]. - Claude Lenormand (claude.lenormand(AT)free.fr), Aug 24 2003
a(1) = 2, a(2) = 3, D-finite recurrence a(n) = (n^2 - n - 2)*a(n-2) for n >= 3. - Jaume Oliver Lafont, Dec 01 2009
G.f.: U(0) where U(k) = 1 + (k+1)/(1 - x/(x + 1/U(k+1))) ; (continued fraction, 3-step). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Sep 25 2012
G.f.: 2*(1+x)/x/G(0) - 1/x, where G(k)= 1 + 1/(1 - x*(2*k+2)/(x*(2*k+2) - 1 + x*(2*k+2)/G(k+1))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, May 31 2013
a(1)=2, a(2)=3, D-finite recurrence a(n) = (n-1)*a(n-1) + (n-2)*a(n-2). - Dale Gerdemann, Jul 26 2019

EXAMPLE

For n=3, a(3) counts the 8 permutations of [4] with 1,2, and 3 all in the same cycle, namely, (1 2 3)(4), (1 3 2)(4), (1 2 3 4), (1 2 4 3), (1 3 2 4), (1 2 4 3), (1 4 2 3), and (1 4 3 2). - Dennis P. Walsh, May 24 2020
