COMMENT

Bisection of A005981. The entries listed above suggest various congruences for a(n): a(n) = 1 (mod 10), a(n) = 1 + 70*n (mod 100), a(n) = 1 + 70*n + 200*n(n-1) (mod 1000). Are these congruences true for all n? For an arbitrary integer m, the sequence a(n) taken modulo m may eventually become periodic. Compare with A081727.

FORMULA

E.g.f.:sum_ {n = 0 .. inf} a(n)*(x^(4n+3))/(4n+3)! = (exp(2x)-2*sin(x)*exp(x)-1)/(2*exp(x)+cos(x)*(exp(2x)+1)). It appears that a(n)= (4n+3)!*coefficient of x^(4n+3) in the Taylor expansion of -4/(2*exp(x)+cos(x)*(exp(2x)+1)).

EXAMPLE

(1 4 5 3 2 6 7) is a 2 up, 2 down, 2 up permutation - one of the seventy-one permutations of this type in the symmetric group on 7 letters.
