COMMENTS
a(n) is also the number of n X n symmetric permutation matrices.
a(n) is also the number of matchings (Hosoya index) in the complete graph K(n). - Ola Veshta (olaveshta(AT)my-deja.com), Mar 25 2001
a(n) is also the number of independent vertex sets and vertex covers in the n-triangular graph. - Eric W. Weisstein, May 22 2017
Equivalently, this is the number of graphs on n labeled nodes with degrees at most 1. - Don Knuth, Mar 31 2008
a(n) is also the sum of the degrees of the irreducible representations of the symmetric group S_n. - Avi Peretz (njk(AT)netvision.net.il), Apr 01 2001
a(n) is the number of partitions of a set of n distinguishable elements into sets of size 1 and 2. - Karol A. Penson, Apr 22 2003
Number of tableaux on the edges of the star graph of order n, S_n (sometimes T_n). - Roberto E. Martinez II, Jan 09 2002
The Hankel transform of this sequence is A000178 (superfactorials). Sequence is also binomial transform of the sequence 1, 0, 1, 0, 3, 0, 15, 0, 105, 0, 945, ... (A001147 with interpolated zeros). - Philippe Deléham, Jun 10 2005
Row sums of the exponential Riordan array (e^(x^2/2),x). - Paul Barry, Jan 12 2006
a(n) is the number of nonnegative lattice paths of upsteps U = (1,1) and downsteps D = (1,-1) that start at the origin and end on the vertical line x = n in which each downstep (if any) is marked with an integer between 1 and the height of its initial vertex above the x-axis. For example, with the required integer immediately preceding each downstep, a(3) = 4 counts UUU, UU1D, UU2D, U1DU. - David Callan, Mar 07 2006
Equals row sums of triangle A152736 starting with offset 1. - Gary W. Adamson, Dec 12 2008
Proof of the recurrence relation a(n) = a(n-1) + (n-1)*a(n-2): number of involutions of [n] containing n as a fixed point is a(n-1); number of involutions of [n] containing n in some cycle (j, n), where 1 <= j <= n-1, is (n-1) times the number of involutions of [n] containing the cycle (n-1 n) = (n-1)*a(n-2). - Emeric Deutsch, Jun 08 2009
Number of ballot sequences (or lattice permutations) of length n. A ballot sequence B is a string such that, for all prefixes P of B, h(i) >= h(j) for i < j, where h(x) is the number of times x appears in P. For example, the ballot sequences of length 4 are 1111, 1112, 1121, 1122, 1123, 1211, 1212, 1213, 1231, and 1234. The string 1221 does not appear in the list because in the 3-prefix 122 there are two 2's but only one 1. (Cf. p. 176 of Bruce E. Sagan: "The Symmetric Group"). - Joerg Arndt, Jun 28 2009
Number of standard Young tableaux of size n; the ballot sequences are obtained as a length-n vector v where v_k is the (number of the) row in which the number r occurs in the tableaux. - Joerg Arndt, Jul 29 2012
Number of factorial numbers of length n-1 with no adjacent nonzero digits. For example the 10 such numbers (in rising factorial radix) of length 3 are 000, 001, 002, 003, 010, 020, 100, 101, 102, and 103. - Joerg Arndt, Nov 11 2012
Also called restricted Stirling numbers of the second kind (see Mezo). - N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 27 2013
a(n) is the number of permutations of [n] that avoid the consecutive patterns 123 and 132. Proof. Write a self-inverse permutation in standard cycle form: smallest entry in each cycle in first position, first entries decreasing. For example, (6,7)(3,4)(2)(1,5) is in standard cycle form. Then erase parentheses. This is a bijection to the permutations that avoid consecutive 123 and 132 patterns. - David Callan, Aug 27 2014
Getu (1991) says these numbers are also known as "telephone numbers". - N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 23 2015
a(n) is the number of elements x in S_n such that x^2 = e where e is the identity. - Jianing Song, Aug 22 2018
a(n) is the number of congruence orbits of upper-triangular n X n matrices on skew-symmetric matrices, or the number of Borel orbits in largest sect of the type DIII symmetric space SO_{2n}(C)/GL_n(C). Involutions can also be thought of as fixed-point-free partial involutions. See [Bingham and Ugurlu] link. - Aram Bingham, Feb 08 2020
From Thomas Anton, Apr 20 2020: (Start)
Apparently a(n) = b*c where b is odd iff a(n+b) (when a(n) is defined) is divisible by b.
Apparently a(n) = 2^(f(n mod 4)+floor(n/4))*q where f:{0,1,2,3}->{0,1,2} is given by f(0),f(1)=0, f(2)=1 and f(3)=2 and q is odd. (End)
From Iosif Pinelis, Mar 12 2021: (Start)
a(n) is the n-th initial moment of the normal distribution with mean 1 and variance 1. This follows because the moment generating function of that distribution is the e.g.f. of the sequence of the a(n)'s.
The recurrence a(n) = a(n-1) + (n-1)*a(n-2) also follows, by writing E(Z+1)^n=EZ(Z+1)^(n-1)+E(Z+1)^(n-1), where Z is a standard normal random variable, and then taking the first of the latter two integrals by parts. (End)

E.g.f.: exp(x+x^2/2).
a(n) = a(n-1) + A013989(n-2) = A013989(n)/(n+1) = 1+A001189(n).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} n!/((n-2*k)!*2^k*k!).

a(n) ~ sqrt(2)/2 * exp(sqrt(n)-n/2-1/4) * n^(n/2) * (1 + 7/(24*sqrt(n))). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 07 2014
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} s(n,k)*(-1)^(n-k)*2^k*B(k,1/2), where the s(n,k) are (signless) Stirling numbers of the first kind, and the B(n,x) = Sum_{k=0..n} S(n,k)*x^k are the Stirling polynomials, where the S(n,k) are the Stirling numbers of the second kind. - Emanuele Munarini, May 16 2014

From Peter Bala, Oct 06 2021: (Start)
a(n+k) == a(n) (mod k) for all n >= 0 and all positive odd integers k.
Hence for each odd k, the sequence obtained by taking a(n) modulo k is a periodic sequence and the exact period divides k. For example, taking a(n) modulo 7 gives the purely periodic sequence [1, 1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 6, 1, 1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 6, 1, 1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 6, ...] of period 7. For similar results see A047974 and A115329.

Second lower diagonal T(n,n-2) equals positive triangular numbers A000217 \ {0}. - M. F. Hasler, Oct 23 2014
From James East, Aug 17 2015: (Start)
T(n,k) is the number of R-classes (equivalently, L-classes) in the D-class consisting of all rank k elements of the Brauer monoid of degree n.
For n < k with n == k (mod 2), T(n,k) is the rank (minimal size of a generating set) and idempotent rank (minimal size of an idempotent generating set) of the ideal consisting of all rank <= k elements of the Brauer monoid. (End)
This array provides the coefficients of a Laplace-dual sequence H(n,x) of the Dirac delta function, delta(x), and its derivatives, formed by taking the inverse Laplace transform of these modified Hermite polynomials. H(n,x) = h(n,D) delta(x) with h(n,x) as in the examples and the lowering and raising operators L = -x and R = -x + D = -x + d/dx such that L H(n,x) = n * H(n-1,x) and R H(n,x) = H(n+1,x). The e.g.f. is exp[t H(.,x)] = e^(t^2/2) e^(t D) delta(x) = e^(t^2/2) delta(x+t). - Tom Copeland, Oct 02 2016

FORMULA
h(k, x) = (-I/sqrt(2))^k * H(k, I*x/sqrt(2)), H(n, x) the Hermite polynomials (A060821, A059343).
T(n,k) = n!/(2^((n-k)/2)*((n-k)/2)!k!) if n-k >= 0 is even; 0 otherwise. - Emeric Deutsch, Oct 14 2006
G.f.: 1/(1-x*y-x^2/(1-x*y-2*x^2/(1-x*y-3*x^2/(1-x*y-4*x^2/(1-... (continued fraction). - Paul Barry, Apr 10 2009

Recurrence: T(0,0)=1, T(0,k)=0 for k>0 and for n >= 1 T(n,k) = T(n-1,k-1) + (k+1)*T(n-1,k+1). - Peter Luschny, Oct 06 2012
T(n+2,n) = A000217(n+1), n >= 0. - M. F. Hasler, Oct 23 2014
The row polynomials P(n,x) = (a. + x)^n, umbrally evaluated with (a.)^n = a_n = aerated A001147, are an Appell sequence with dP(n,x)/dx = n * P(n-1,x). The umbral compositional inverses (cf. A001147) of these polynomials are given by the same polynomials signed, A066325. - Tom Copeland, Nov 15 2014
From Tom Copeland, Dec 13 2015: (Start)
The odd rows are (2x^2)^n x n! L(n,-1/(2x^2),1/2), and the even, (2x^2)^n n! L(n,-1/(2x^2),-1/2) in sequence with n= 0,1,2,... and L(n,x,a) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n+a,k+a) (-x)^k/k!, the associated Laguerre polynomial of order a. The odd rows are related to A130757, and the even to A176230 and A176231. Other versions of this entry are A122848, A049403, A096713 and A104556, and reversed A100861, A144299, A111924. With each non-vanishing diagonal divided by its initial element A001147(n), this array becomes reversed, aerated A034839.
Create four shift and stretch matrices S1,S2,S3, and S4 with all elements zero except S1(2n,n) = 1 for n >= 1, S2(n,2n) = 1 for n >= 0, S3(2n+1,n) = 1 for n >= 1, and S4(n,2n+1) = 1 for n >= 0. Then this entry's lower triangular matrix is T = Id + S1 * (A176230-Id) * S2 + S3 * (unsigned A130757-Id) * S4 with Id the identity matrix. The sandwiched matrices have infinitesimal generators with the nonvanishing subdiagonals A000384(n>0) and A014105(n>0).
As an Appell sequence, the lowering and raising operators are L = D and R = x + dlog(exp(D^2/2))/dD = x + D, where D = d/dx, L h(n,x) = n h(n-1,x), and R h(n,x) = h(n+1,x), so R^n 1 = h(n,x). The fundamental moment sequence has the e.g.f. e^(t^2/2) with coefficients a(n) = aerated A001147, i.e., h(n,x) = (a. + x)^n, as noted above. The raising operator R as a matrix acting on o.g.f.s (formal power series) is the transpose of the production matrix P below, i.e., (1,x,x^2,...)(P^T)^n (1,0,0,...)^T = h(n,x).
For characterization as a Riordan array and associations to combinatorial structures, see the Barry link and the Yang and Qiao reference. For relations to projective modules, see the Sazdanovic link.
(End)
From the Appell formalism, e^(D^2/2) x^n = h_n(x), the n-th row polynomial listed below, and e^(-D^2/2) x^n = u_n(x), the n-th row polynomial of A066325. Then R = e^(D^2/2) * x * e^(-D^2/2) is another representation of the raising operator, implied by the umbral compositional inverse relation h_n(u.(x)) = x^n. - Tom Copeland, Oct 02 2016
h_n(x) = p_n(x-1), where p_n(x) are the polynomials of A111062, related to the telephone numbers A000085. - Tom Copeland, Jun 26 2018
From Tom Copeland, Jun 06 2021: (Start)
In the power basis x^n, the matrix infinitesimal generator M = A132440^2/2, when acting on a row vector for an o.g.f., is the matrix representation for the differential operator D^2/2.
e^{M} gives the coefficients of the Hermite polynomials of this entry.
The only nonvanishing subdiagonal of M, the second subdiagonal (1,3,6,10,...), gives, aside from the initial 0, the triangular numbers A000217, the number of edges of the n-dimensional simplices with (n+1) vertices. The perfect matchings of these simplices are the aerated odd double factorials A001147 noted above, the moments for the Hermite polynomials.
The polynomials are also generated from A036040 with x[1] = x, x[2] = 1, and the other indeterminates equal to zero. (End)

FORMULA
Number triangle T(n,k) = k!*C(n,k)/((2k-n)!*2^(n-k)).
T(n,k) = A001498(k,n-k). - Michael Somos, Oct 03 2006
E.g.f.: exp(y(x+x^2/2)). - Geoffrey Critzer, May 08 2012
Triangle equals the matrix product A008275*A039755. Equivalently, the n-th row polynomial R(n,x) is given by the Type B Dobinski formula R(n,x) = exp(-x/2)*Sum_{k>=0} P(n,2*k+1)*(x/2)^k/k!, where P(n,x) = x*(x-1)*...*(x-n+1) denotes the falling factorial polynomial. Cf. A113278. - Peter Bala, Jun 23 2014

As noted above, a(n) is the number of set partitions of {1..n} into k singletons or pairs. This is also the number of set partitions of subsets of {1..n} into n - k pairs. In the first case, row n = 5 counts the following set partitions:
{{1},{2,3},{4,5}} {{1},{2},{3},{4,5}} {{1},{2},{3},{4},{5}}
{{1,2},{3},{4,5}} {{1},{2},{3,4},{5}}

These polynomials appear in the radial l=0 (s) wave functions of the isotropic three-dimensional harmonic quantum oscillator with the dimensionless variable x=(r/L)^2 with r>=0 and L^2=h/(m*f0). h is Planck's constant and m and f0 are the mass and the frequency of the oscillator.

See A099174 for relations to the Hermite polynomials and the link in A176230 for operator relations. The infinitesimal generator for this matrix contains A014105.
The row polynomials are P(n,x) = 2^n n! Lag(n,x/2,1/2), where Lag(n,x,q) is the associated Laguerre polynomial of order q, with raising operator R = -x^(-2) [x^(3/2) (1 - 2D)]^2 = 3 - x + (4x - 6) D - 4x D^2 with D = d/dx, i.e., R P(n,x) - P(n+1,x). A matrix reresentation of R acting on an o.g.f. (formal power series) is given by the transpose of the production matrix below. The diagonal corresponds to (3 + 4 xD) x^n = (3 + 4n) x^n; the upper diagonal, to -x x^n = -x^(n+1); and the lower diagonal, to (-6 - 4 xD) D x^n = -n (6 + 4(n-1)) x^(n-1), the sequence A002943. See A176230 for a similar relation.
The triangles of Bessel numbers entries A122848, A049403, A096713, A104556 contain these polynomials as even or odd rows. Also the aerated version A099174 and A066325. Reversed, these entries are A100861, A144299, A111924.

From Tom Copeland, Dec 13 2015: (Start)
See A099174 for relations to the Hermite polynomials and the link for operator relations, including the infinitesimal generator containing A000384.
Row polynomials are 2^n n! Lag(n,-x/2,-1/2), where Lag(n,x,q) is the associated Laguerre polynomial of order q.
The triangles of Bessel numbers entries A122848, A049403, A096713, A104556 contain these polynomials as even or odd rows. Also the aerated version A099174 and A066325. Reversed, these entries are A100861, A144299, A111924.
Divided along the diagonals by the initial element (A001147) of the diagonal, this matrix becomes the even rows of A034839.

The n-th row polynomial R(n,x) is given by the type B Dobinski formula R(n,x) = exp(-x/2)*Sum_{k>=0} (2*k+1)*(2*k+3)*...*(2*k+1+2*(n-1))*(x/2)^k/k!. Cf. A113278. - Peter Bala, Jun 23 2014
The raising operator in my 2012 formula expanded is R = [x^(1/2)(1+2D)]^2 = 1 + x + (2 + 4x) D + 4x D^2, which in matrix form acting on an o.g.f. (formal power series) is the transpose of the production array below. The linear term x is the diagonal of ones after transposition. The main diagonal comes from (1 + 4xD) x^n = (1 + 4n) x^n. The last diagonal comes from (2 D + 4 x D^2) x^n = (2 + 4 xD) D x^n = n * (2 + 4(n-1)) x^(n-1). - Tom Copeland, Dec 13 2015
T(n, k) = (-2)^(n-k)*[x^k] KummerU(-n, 1/2, x). - Peter Luschny, Jan 18 2020

COMMENTS
The Hermite polynomials satisfy the following recurrence relation:
H(0,x) = 1,
H(1,x) = 2*x,
H(n,x) = 2*x*H(n-1,x) - 2*(n-1)*H(n-2,x).
The first few Hermite polynomials are:
H(0,x) = 1
H(1,x) = 2x
H(2,x) = 4x^2 - 2
H(3,x) = 8x^3 - 12x
H(4,x) = 16x^4 - 48x^2 + 12
H(5,x) = 32x^5 - 160x^3 + 120x
FORMULA
Conjecture: a(n) = A257564(n+2).
EXAMPLE
a(5) = 3 because the zeros of H(5,x) = 32x^5 - 160x^3 + 120x are x1 = -2.0201828..., x2 = -.9585724..., x3 = 0., x4 = .9585724... and x5 = 2.020182... with three roots x2, x3 and x4 in the open interval (-1, +1).
