COMMENTS

Multinomial coefficients(TOP, BOTTOM), where TOP = n, BOTTOM = ( a b c d ) where a = [ n/4 ], b = [ n/4 ], c = [ n/4 ], d = [ n/4 ] if n==0 mod 4; a = [ n/4 ], b = [ n/4 ], c = [ n/4 ], d = [ n/4 ]+1 if n==1 mod 4; a = [ n/4 ], b = [ n/4 ], c = [ n/4 ]+1, d = [ n/4 ]+1 if n==2 mod 4; a = [ n/4 ], b = [ n/4 ]+1, c = [ n/4 ]+1, d = [ n/4 ]+1 if n==3 mod 4.

Number of permutation patterns modulo 4. This matches the multinomial formula. [From Olivier Gerard, Feb 25 2011]

Aso the number of permutations of n elements where p(k-4) < p(k) for all k. [Joerg Arndt, Jul 23 2011]

EXAMPLE

Starting from n=5, several permutations have the same pattern mod 4. Both (4,1,5,2,3) and (4,5,1,2,3) have pattern (0,1,1,2,3) modulo 4.

MATHEMATICA

Table[ n!/(Quotient[n, 4]!*Quotient[n + 1, 4]!*Quotient[n + 2, 4]!*

    Quotient[n + 3, 4]!), {n, 0, 30}]

PROG

(PARI) {a(n)= if(n<0, 0, n!/(n\4)!/((n+1)\4)!/((n+2)\4)!/((n+3)\4)!)} /* Michael Somos Jun 20 2007 */
