COMMENTS

|a(n)| is the number of ways to partition the set {1,2,...,2n} into an even number of odd size blocks. - Geoffrey Critzer, Apr 11 2010

Unsigned sequence has e.g.f. cosh(sinh(x)) (even powers only).

FORMULA

a(n) = sum(j=0..n, (2^(2*j+1)*sum(i=0..(n-j), (i-n+j)^(2*n)*binomial((2*n-2*j),i)*(-1)^(n-i))/(2*n-2*j)!)), n>0, a(1)=0. - Vladimir Kruchinin, Jun 08 2011

MAPLE

b:= proc(n) option remember; `if`(n=0, 1, add(

b(n-j)*irem(j, 2)*binomial(n-1, j-1), j=1..n))

end:

a:= n-> b(2*n)*(-1)^n:
