Does anyone have a compact formula (or any other kind of identity or formula for any related sum) for this sum:
\sum_{\sigma\in S_n} \prod_{i=0}^{n-1} (i + \sigma(i))!
where S_n is the set of permutations of S = \{0,\dots,n-1\} . It's similar to the formula for a determinant of the matrix A_{ij} = (i + j - 2)! but has no permutation signs.
