COMMENTS

Also the dimension of SL(3)-invariants in V^n tensor (V^*)^n, where V is the standard 3-dimensional representation of SL(3) and V^* is its dual. - Alec Mihailovs (alec(AT)mihailovs.com), Aug 14 2005

Also the number of doubly-alternating permutations of length 2n with no four-term increasing subsequence (i.e., 1234-avoiding doubly-alternating permutations). The doubly-alternating permutations (counted by sequence A007999) are those permutations w such that both w and w^(-1) have descent set {2, 4, 6, ...}. [From Joel B. Lewis, May 21 2009]

Any permutation without an increasing subsequence of length 4 has a decreasing subsequence of length >= n/3, where n is the length of the sequence, by the Erdős-Szekeres theorem. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Sep 26 2012

FORMULA

a(n) = 2 * sum_{k=0..n} binomial(2*k, k) * (binomial(n, k))^2 * (3*k^2+2*k+1-n-2*k*n)/((k+1)^2 * (k+2) * (n-k+1))

(4*n^2 - 2*n + 1)*(n + 2)^2*(n + 1)^2*a(n) = (44*n^3 - 14*n^2 - 11*n + 8)*n*(n + 1)^2*a(n - 1) - (76*n^4 + 42*n^3 - 49*n^2 - 24*n + 24)*(n - 1)^2*a(n - 2) + 9*(4*n^2 + 6*n + 3)*(n - 1)^2*(n - 2)^2*a(n - 3). - Vladeta Jovovic, Jul 16 2004

a(0) = 1, a(1) = 1, (n^2 + 8 n + 16) a(n + 2) = (10 n^2 + 42 n + 41) a(n + 1) - (9 n^2 + 18 n + 9) a(n) - Alec Mihailovs (alec(AT)mihailovs.com), Aug 14 2005

A005802(n) = ((18*n+45)*A002893(n) - (7+2*n)*A002893(n+1)) / (6*(n+2)^2). - Mark van Hoeij, Jul 02 2010

G.f.:  (1+5*x-(1-9*x)^(3/4)*(1-x)^(1/4)*hypergeom([-1/4, 3/4],[1],64*x/((x-1)*(1-9*x)^3)))/(6*x^2). - Mark van Hoeij, Oct 25 2011.

A005802:=rsolve({a(0) = 1, a(1) = 1, (n^2 + 8*n + 16)*a(n + 2) = (10*n^2 + 42*n + 41)*a(n + 1) - (9*n^2 + 18*n + 9)*a(n)}, a(n), makeproc): (Mihailovs)

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := 2Sum[Binomial[2k, k]Binomial[n, k]^2(3k^2+2k+1-n-2k*n)/((k+1)^2(k+2)(n-k+1)), {k, 0, n}]
