Adams-Watters (FrankTAW(AT)Netscape.net), Oct 25 2006 %C A005990 a(n) is also the sum of the excedances of all permutations of [n]. An excedance of a permutation p of [n] is an i (1<=i<=n-1) such that p(i)>i. Proof: i is an excedance if p(i)=i+1, i+2, ..., n (n-i possibilities), with the remaining values of p forming any permutation of [n]\{p(i)} in the positions [n]\{i} ((n-1)! possibilities). Summation of i(n-i)(n-1)! over i from 1 to n-1 completes the proof. Example: a(3)=8 because the permutations 123, 132, 213, 231, 312, 321 have excedances NONE, {2}, {1}, {1,2}, {1}, {1}, respectively. [From Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Oct 26 2008] %C A005990 Contribution from Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Jul 26 2009: (Start) %C A005990 a(n) is also the number of doubledescents in all permutations of {1,2, ...,n-1}. We say that i is a doubledescent of a permutation p if p(i)>p(i+1)>p(i+2). Example: a(3)=8 because each of the permutations 1432, 4312, 4213, 2431, 3214, 3421 has one doubledescent, the permutation 4321 has two doubledescents and the remaining 17 permutations of {1,2,3,4} have no doubledescents. %C A005990 (End) %D A005990 N.
