COMMENTS

Total number of pairs (a_i,a_(i+1)) in all permutations on [n] such that a_i,a_(i+1) are consecutive integers. - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), Nov 04 2003

Number of permutations of {1,2,...,n+2} such that there is exactly one entry between the entries 1 and 2. Example: a(2)=8 because we have 1324, 1423, 2314, 2413, 3142, 4132, 3241 and 4231. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Apr 06 2008

a(n)=A138770(n+2,1). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Apr 06 2008

Number of permutations of 0 to n distinct letters (ABC...) 1 times ("-" (0), A (1), AB (1-1), ABC (1-1-1), ABCD (1-1-1-1 )etc...) and one after the other to resemble motif:( "-",... BB (0-2), ABB (1-2-0), AABB (2-2-0-0), AAABB (3-2-0-0-0) AAAABB (4-2-0-0-0-0), AAAAABB (5-2-0-0-0-0-0), AAAAAABB (6-2-0-0-0-0-0-0), etc... 0 fixed point (or free fixed point). Example: if ABC (1-1-1) and motif ABB (1-2-0) then 2 * 0 (free) fixed point, if ABCD (1-1-1-1), and motif AABB (2-2-0-0) then 8 * 0 (free) fixed point, if ABCDE (1-1-1-1-1), and motif AAABB (3-2-0-0-0), then 36 * 0 (free) fixed point, if ABCDEF (1-1-1-1-1-1), and motif AAAABB (4-2-0-0-0-0), then 192 * 0 (free) fixed point, if ABCDEFG (1-1-1-1-1-1-1), and motif AAAAABB (5-2-0-0-0-0-0), then 1200 * 0 (free) fixed point, etc...

FORMULA

E.g.f.: 2*x / (1 - x)^2.

Recurrence: {a(0)=0, a(1)=2, (-n^2-2*n-1)*a(n)+a(n+1)*n=0.}.

a(n) = A001339(n) - A007808(n). - Michael Somos, Oct 20 2011

a(n) = (a(n-1)^2 - 2 * a(n-2)^2 + a(n-2) * a(n-3) - 4 * a(n-1) * a(n-3)) / (a(n-2) - a(n-3)) if n>2. - Michael Somos, Oct 20 2011

a(n)=2*n*n! [From Gary Detlefs (gdetlefs(AT)aol.com), Sep 16 2010]

a(n+1) = a(n) * (n+1)^2 / n. [Reinhard Zumkeller, Nov 12 2011]

MAPLE

spec := [S, {S=Prod(Sequence(Z), Sequence(Z), Union(Z, Z))}, labeled]: seq(combstruct[count](spec, size=n), n=0..20);

MATHEMATICA

a[ n_] := If[ n<0, 0, n! SeriesCoefficient[ 2 x / (1 - x)^2, {x, 0, n}]] (* Michael Somos, Oct 20 2011 *)

a[ n_] := If[ n<0, 0, 2 n n!] (* Michael Somos, Oct 20 2011 *)

PROG

{a(n) = if( n<0, 0, 2 * n * n!)} /* Michael Somos, Oct 20 2011 */

(Haskell)

a052582 n = a052582_list !! n

a052582_list =  0 : 2 : zipWith

   div (zipWith (*) (tail a052582_list) (drop 2 a000290_list)) [1..]
