FORMULA

8*a(n)/4^n ->1 as n ->infinity . - DELEHAM Philippe (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Feb 22 2004

EXAMPLE

a(5)=16 because the permutations of [5] with four sign runs are 13254, 14253, 14352, 15342, 15243, 21435, 21534, 23154, 24153, 25143, 31425, 31524, 32415, 32514, 41325, 42315, and their reversals.

CROSSREFS

a(n)=T(n,4), where T(n,k) is the array defined in A008970.

Equals 1/2 * A060158(n).
