COMMENTS

For n >= 2, a(n) is the number of permutations p on the set [n] with the properties that abs(p(i)-i) <= 3 for all i and p(j) <= 2+j for j = 1,2.

For n >= 2, a(n) is also the permanent of the n-by-n matrix that has ones on its diagonal, ones on its three superdiagonals, ones on its three subdiagonals (with the exception of zeroes in the (4,1) and (5,2)-entries), and is zero elsewhere.

This is row 3 of Klove's Table 3.
