Find and solve recurrence equation $a_{n}$, where $a_{n}$ is the number of derangement in permutation $\pi\in S_{n}$, and $\forall_{i\in \mathbb{N}_{n}}\pi(i)\ne i$.
I managed to find the equation:
$$
a_{n} =
\begin{cases}
1, & \text{if $n$ = 0} \\
0, & \text{if $n$ = 1} \\
(n-1)(a_{n-1}+a_{n-2}), & \text{if $n\ge2$}
\end{cases},
$$
but I don't know how to solve it. Only managed to get to this:
$A(x) = 1+\sum^\infty_{n=0}{(n+1)a_{n+1}x^{n+2}}+\sum^\infty_{n=0}{(n+1)a_{n}x^{n+2}}$.
