COMMENT

The separable permutations are those avoiding 2413 and 3142 and are counted by the large Schroeder numbers (A006318). The alternating permutations are counted by the Euler numbers (A000111).

FORMULA

G.f. satisfies f^3-(2x^2-5x+4)f^2-(4x^3+x^2-8x)f-(2x^4+5x^3+4x^2)=0.

EXAMPLE

a(4)=8 because of the 10 alternating permutations of length 4, 2413 and 3142 are not separable.
