%N A114939 Number of essentially different seating arrangements for n couples around
a circular table with 2*n seats avoiding spouses being neighbors
and avoiding clusters of 3 persons with equal gender.
%C A114939 Arrangements that differ only by rotation or reflection are excluded
by the following conditions: Seat number 1 is assigned to person
(a). Person (a)'s spouse (A) can only take seats with numbers <=(n+1).
If (A) gets seat n+1 (i.e. sits exactly opposite to her/his spouse)
then person (B) can only take seats with numbers <= n.
%F A114939 See PARI code for the formula.
%e A114939 a(2)=1 because the only valid arrangement is aBAb.
%e A114939 a(3)=7 because the only valid arrangements under the given conditions
are: abAcBC, aBAcbC, aBcAbC, aBcACb, acAbCB, acBAbC, aCAbcB.
