%N Number of permutations of length n with one 3-sequence.

%C a(n) is also the number of successions in all permutations of [n-1] with no 3-sequences. A succession of a permutation p is a position i such that p(i+1) - p(i) = 1. Example: a(4)=2 because in 132, 213, 2*31, 31*2, 321 we have 0+0+1+1+0=2 successions (marked *). - _Emeric Deutsch_, Sep 07 2010
