FORMULA

a(n) = sum(sum((2*k+i+1)/(n-k+i+1)*binomial(k-1,k-i)*binomial(2*n-4*k+i,n-3*k),i=0..k),k=0..floor(n/3)); generating function = (C(x)-1)/(1-x/(1+x^2)*(C(x)-1)) in which C(x) is the ogf for the Catalan numbers.

EXAMPLE

a(4)=18 because of the 24 permutations of {1,2,3,4} only 1234, 1243, 1324, 1423, 2134 and 2314 are not 123-segmented; i.e., they contain more occurrences of the pattern (1-2-3) than of the pattern (123).

MAPLE

a := n->add(add((2*k+i+1)/(n-k+i+1)*binomial(k-1, k-i)*binomial(2*n-4*k+i, n-3*k), i=0..k), k=0..floor(n/3)); seq(a(n), n=0..25);
