COMMENTS

Eulerian permutations of the multiset {1,1,2,2,...,n+3,n+3} with n ascents.Eulerian permutations have the restriction that for all m, all integers between the two copies of m are less than m. In particular, the two 1s are always next to each other.

FORMULA

a(n)= (n+4)*a(n-1) + n*A002538(n), n>=2. a(1)=1.

EXAMPLE

For instance, a(1) = 22 because among the 7!! = 105 permutations of {1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4} selected according to the definition of Eulerian numbers of the second kind, only 22 contain n = 1 descent, namely :

MATHEMATICA

a[1]=1; a[2]=22; a[n_] := a[n] = ((n-1)*(n-1)!*n^3 - (n+2)*(n+3)*a[n-2]*n + (n*(2*n+5)-4)*a[n-1]) / (n-1); Table[a[n], {n, 14}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Mar 23 2011 *)
