%N A117106 Number of permutations in S_n avoiding 21{bar 3}54 (i.e. every occurrence 
               of 2154 is contained in an occurrence of a 21354).
%C A117106 Comment from Lara Pudwell (Lara.Pudwell(AT)valpo.edu), Oct 23 2008 (Start):
%C A117106 A permutation p avoids a pattern q if it has no subsequence that is order-isomorphic 
               to q. For example, p avoids the pattern 132 if it has no subsequence 
               abc with a<c<b.
%C A117106 Barred pattern avoidance considers permutations that avoid a pattern 
               except in a special case. Given a barred pattern q, we may form two 
               patterns, q1 = the sequence of unbarred letters of q and q2 = the 
               sequence of all letters of q.
%C A117106 A permutation p avoids barred pattern q if every instance of q1 in p 
               is embedded in a copy of q2 in p. In other words, p avoids q1, except 
               in the special case that a copy of q1 is a subsequence of a copy 
               of q2.
%C A117106 For example, if q=5{bar 1}32{bar 4}, then q1=532 and q2 = 51324. p avoids 
               q if every for decreasing subsequence acd of length 3 in p, one can 
               find letters b and e so that the subsequence abcde of p has b<d<c<e<a. 
               (End)
%C A117106 The bar refers to a missing piece. In other words to say that a permutation 
               has the pattern 21{bar 3}54 means that it has a 2154 (or equivalently 
               a 2143) pattern but that there is no entry in the permutation so 
               that we can extend this 2154 to a 21543 pattern.

%e A117106 a(4)=23 because the permutation 2143 has the pattern 21{bar 3}54, but 
               none of the other 23 permutations in S_4 do.
