FORMULA
|
a(0)=5, a(n)=4E(n+3)-4E(n+1) (n>=1), where E(j)=A000111(j)=j!*[x^j](sec(x)+tan(x)) are the up/down or Euler numbers. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), May 15 2004
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
a(0)=5 because we have 51324, 51423, 52314, 52413 and 53412.

|
MAPLE
|
f:=sec(x)+tan(x): fser:=series(f, x=0, 35): E[0]:=1: for n from 1 to 40 do E[n]:=n!*coeff(fser, x^n) od: 5, seq(4*E[n-1]-4*E[n-3], n=5..23);
|
|
PROGRAM
|
(PARI) a(n)=local(v=[1], t); if(n<0, 0, for(k=2, n+5, t=0; v=vector(k, i, if(i>1, t+=v[k+1-i]))); v[5]) (from Michael Somos)
