COMMENTS

A026035 gives the minimum sum of products for permutations and was used to validate the results above. There is a companion index for the permutations that are the reversals of those indexed here. A formula would be very welcome.

EXAMPLE

In the permutation table of order 7 the first instance of a row having the least sum of overlapping pairwise products can be found empirically to be:

6 2 4 3 5 1 7

and this is found at index 3776. Its products are

12 8 12 15 5 7

and sum is 59; a(7) of A026035 is 59. This allows us to give a(7) as 3776.
