COMMENTS

a(n) = Sum_{pi in Symm(n)} Sum_{i=1..n} |pi(i)-i|, i.e. the total displacement of all letters in all permutations on n letters.

a(n)=number of entries between the entries 1 and 2 in all permutations of {1,2,...,n+1}. Example: a(2)=2 because we have 123, 1(3)2, 213, 2(3)1, 312, 321; the entries between 1 and 2 are surrounded by parentheses. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Apr 06 2008

a(n)=Sum(k*A138770(n+1,k),k=0..n-1). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Apr 06 2008

Contribution from Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Jul 26 2009: (Start)

a(n) is also the number of peaks in all permutations of {1,2,...,n+1}. Example: a(3)=16 because the permutations 1234, 4123, 3124, 4312, 2134, 4213, 3214, and 4321 have no peaks and each of the remaining 16 permutations of {1,2,3,4} has exactly one peak.
