FORMULA

a(n) = sum(binomial(n-2*k,k)*catalan(n-2*k),k=0..floor(n/3)); generating function = C(x + x^3), where C(x) is the generating function for the Catalan numbers.

G.f. A(x)=1/(1-z/(1-z/(1-z/(...)))) where z=x+x^3 (continued fraction, a special case of the previous formula) [Joerg Arndt, Mar 18 2011]

EXAMPLE

a(4)=18 because of the 24 permutations of {1,2,3,4} only 1243, 1342, 1423, 1432, 2143, 2413 are not 132-segmented; i.e., those permutations have more occurrences of the pattern (1-3-2) than of the pattern (132).

MAPLE

a := n->sum(binomial(n-2*k, k)*catalan(n-2*k), k=0..floor(n/3)); seq(a(n), n=0..25);
