FORMULA

Let T{n, k} = number of permutations of 12...n with exactly k rising or falling successions. Let S[n](t) = Sum_{k >= 0} T{n, k}*t^k. Then S[0] = 1; S[1] = 1; S[2] = 2*t; S[3] = 4*t+2*t^2; for n >= 4, S[n] = (n+1-t)*S[n-1] - (1-t)*(n-2+3*t)*S[n-2] - (1-t)^2*(n-5+t)*S[n-3] + (1-t)^3*(n-3)*S[n-4].
