COMMENTS

Also number of permutations in S_n avoiding the patterns 3142 and 2341. Partial sums of A109034.

Hankel transform is 2^floor(n^2/3) (see A134751). [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Dec 15 2008]

FORMULA

G.f.: (1-sqrt(1-8*x+16*x^2-8*x^3))/(4*x*(1-x))

Contribution from Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Dec 15 2008: (Start)

G.f.: (1-x)*c(2*x*(1-x)^2), where c(x) is the g.f. of A000108;

a(n):=sum{k=0..n, (-1)^(n-k)*C(2k+1,n-k)*2^k*A000108(k)}; (End)

G.f.: 1/(1-x/(1-x/(1-2x/(1-x/(1-x/(1-2x/(1-x/(1-x/(1-2x...... (continued fraction). [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Dec 15 2008]

a(n)= Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n} A091866(n,k)*2^(n-k). [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 27 2009]

EXAMPLE

a(4)=22 because all permutations of 1234 qualify with the exception of 1342 and 2143.

MAPLE

G:=(1-sqrt(1-8*x+16*x^2-8*x^3))/4/x/(1-x): Gser:=series(G, x=0, 30): 1, seq(coeff(Gser, x^n), n=1..27);
