FORMULA

Sum from {k=1} to {n} C(n+1, k-1)C(n+1, k)C(n+1, k+1) / C(n+1, 1)C(n+1, 2).

(n + 1)*(n + 2)*(n + 3)*(3*n - 2)*a(n) = 2*(n + 1)*(9*n^3 + 3*n^2 - 4*n + 4)*a(n - 1) + (3*n - 1)*(n - 2)*(15*n^2 - 5*n - 14)*a(n - 2) + 8*(3*n + 1)*(n - 2)^2*(n - 3)*a(n - 3), n>1.

(n+2)(n+3)a(n) = (7n^2+7n-2)*a(n-1) + 8(n-1)(n-2)a(n-2); a(0)=a(1)=1 - Richard L. Ollerton (r.ollerton(AT)uws.edu.au), Sep 13 2006

G.f.: -1 + (1/(3*x^2)) * (x-1 + (1-2*x)*hypergeom([-2/3, 2/3],[1],27*x^2/(1-2*x)^3) - (8*x^3-11*x^2-x)*hypergeom([1/3,  2/3],[2],27*x^2/(1-2*x)^3)/(1-2*x)^2 ). - Mark van Hoeij, Oct 23 2011

EXAMPLE

a(4)=22 since all permutations of length 4 are Baxter except 2413 and 3142.

MAPLE

C := binomial; A001181 := proc(n) local k; add(C(n+1, k-1)*C(n+1, k)*C(n+1, k+1)/(C(n+1, 1)*C(n+1, 2)), k=1..n); end;

MATHEMATICA

A001181[n_]:=HypergeometricPFQ[{-1-n, -n, 1-n}, {2, 3}, -1] (* n>0 *) - Richard L. Ollerton (r.ollerton(AT)uws.edu.au), Sep 13 2006

PROG

(PARI) alias(C, binomial); a(n)=if(n<0, 0, sum(k=1, n, C(n+1, k-1)*C(n+1, k)*C(n+1, k+1)/C(n+1, 1)/C(n+1, 2)))
