COMMENT

a(n) counts permutations of length n which embed into the (infinite) increasing oscillating sequence given by 4,1,6,3,8,5,...,2k+2,2k-1,...; these are also the permutations which avoid {321, 2341, 3412, 4123}. - Vince Vatter (vince(AT)mcs.st-and.ac.uk), May 23 2008

FORMULA

Recurrence: {a(1)=1, a(0)=1, a(2)=2, a(n)+2*a(n+2)-a(n+3)}

Sum(1/59*(4+3*_alpha^2+17*_alpha)*_alpha^(-1-n), _alpha=RootOf(-1+2*_Z+_Z^3))

G.f.: (1-x)/(1-2*x-x^3) - Vince Vatter (vince(AT)mcs.st-and.ac.uk), May 23 2008
