COMMENTS
| It appears that the corresponding minimum value of f(P) is given by A000292=C(n+3,3). The number of distinct values of f(P) as P ranges over all permutations of {1,2,3,...,n} is given by A087034.

EXAMPLE
| a(3)=13, since f takes on the values 10 and 13: f({1,2,3})=10, f({1,3,2)}=13, f({2,1,3})=13, f({2,3,1})=13, f({3,1,2})=13 and f({3,2,1})=10.
