Comments

Number of permutations of 1..n such that each position is fixed or moves to an adjacent position (with n considered adjacent to 1). For example, a(4) = 9 because there is the identity; 2 cyclic permutations; 4 swaps of one pair of adjacent entries; and 2 swaps of two pairs of adjacent entries. - Joshua Zucker, Nov 13 2003

Formula

For n>4, a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) - 2. - Joshua Zucker, Nov 13 2003

a(n) = Fibonacci(n+1) + Fibonacci(n-1) + 2, for n>2. - Jessa Lee (jessal(AT)comcast.net), Nov 25 2003

For n > 2, a(n)=A001610(n-1) - 3. - Toby Gottfried, Apr 13 2013
