COMMENTS

Contribution from Eric Egge (eegge(AT)carleton.edu), Oct 21 2008: (Start)

a(n) is the number of permutations of length 2n which are invariant

under the reverse-complement map and have no decreasing subsequences

of length 4. (End)

FORMULA

a(n) = sum(k=0, n, A000108(k)*C(n, k)^2 ) where A000108(n)=Catalan(n)=(2n)!/(n!(n+1)!) and C(n, k)=n!/(k!(n-k)!). (From Michael Somos)

EXAMPLE

a(5)= 1118 = 1*1^2 + 1*5^2 + 2*10^2 + 5*10^2 + 14*5^2 + 42*1^2.

CROSSREFS
