COMMENTS

Permutations on n letters without double falls. A permutation w has a double fall at k if w(k) > w(k+1) > w(k+2) and has an initial fall if w(1) > w(2).

Hankel transform is A055209. [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jan 12 2009]

Increasing colored 1-2 trees of order n with choice of two colors for the right branches of the vertices of out degree 2 except those vertices on the path from the root to the leftmost leave. [Wenjin Woan, May 21 2011]

FORMULA

G.f.: 1/sum(i>=0, x^(3*i)/(3*i)! - x^(3*i+1)/(3*i+1)! ).

Equivalently, g.f.: exp(x/2) * r / sin(r*x + (2/3)*Pi) where r = sqrt(3)/2. This has simple poles at (3*m+1)*x0 where x0 = Pi/sqrt(6.75) = 1.2092 approximately and m is an arbitrary integer. This yields the asymptotic expansion a(n)/n! ~ x0^(-n-1) * sum((-1)^m * E^(3*m+1) / (3*m+1)^(n+1)) where E = exp(x0/2) = 1.8305+ and m ranges over all integers. - Noam D. Elkies, Nov 15, 2001

E.g.f.: sqrt(3)*exp(x/2)/(sqrt(3)*cos(x*sqrt(3)/2) - sin(x*sqrt(3)/2) ); a(n+1) = sum(k=0..n, binomial(n, k)*a(k)*b(n-k) ) where b(n) = number of n-permutations without double falls and without initial falls. - Emanuele Munarini (munarini(AT)mate.polimi.it), Feb 28 2003

O.g.f.: A(x) = 1/(1-x-x^2/(1-2*x-4*x^2/(1-3*x-9*x^2/(1-... -n*x-n^2*x^2/(1- ...))))) (continued fraction). - Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Jan 17 2006

a(n) = leftmost column term of M^n*V, where M = an infinite tridiagonal matrix with (1,2,3,...) in the super, sub, and main diagonals and the rest zeros. V = the vector [1,0,0,0,...]. Gary W. Adamson, Jun 16 2011

G.f.: A(x)=1/Q(0); Q(k)=1-x/((3*k+1)-(x^2)*(3*k+1)/((x^2)-3*(3*k+2)*(k+1)/Q(k+1))) ; (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 25 2011

EXAMPLE

Permutations without double increase and without pattern 123:

a(3) = 5: 132, 213, 231, 312, 321.

a(4) = 17: 1324, 1423, 1432, 2143, 2314, 2413, 2431, 3142, 3214, 3241, 3412, 3421, 4132, 4213, 4231, 4312, 4321.
