COMMENTS

A007290 supplies the last term (highest "permutation entropy"). A000292 yields average of "permutation entropy": 1/n * sum(k=1..n, (c(k)-k)^2 ).

Also number of distinct values taken by sum(k=1..n, k * pi(k) ) [Joerg Arndt, Apr 22 2011]

For n>=4, sum(k=1..n, k * pi(k) ) takes every value in the interval [A000292(n),A000330(n)]. - Max Alekseyev, Jan 28 2012

FORMULA

For n>=4, a(n) = 1 + binomial(n+1,3) = 1 + A000330(n) - A000292(n).

G.f. = (1 - 2*x + 2*x^2 + 3*x^3 - 6*x^4 + 4*x^5 - x^6)/(1 - x)^4. Thus, linear recurrent sequence with coefficients (4,-6,4,-1). \\ - M. F. Hasler, Jan 12 2012

EXAMPLE

For 24 permutations on elements 1,2,3,4 the set of sum(k=1..n, (pi(k)-k)^2) yields 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20 (11 distinct values).

For 120 permutations on elements 1,2,3,4,5 the set of sum(k=1..n, (pi(k)-k)^2) yields 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,36,38,40 (21 values).
