REFERENCES

R. P. Stanley, Enumerative Combinatorics, Cambridge, Vol. 2, 1999; see Problem 6.40.

FORMULA

G.f.=E(x)-E(x(1-x)/(1+x)), where E(x)=Sum(n!x^n, n>=0).

a(n)=n!-sum((-1)^(n-k)*sum(binomial(i+k-1,k-1)*binomial(k,n-i-k),i,0,n-k)*k!,k,1,n), n>0. [From Kruchinin Vladimir (kru(AT)ie.tusur.ru), Sep 08 2010]

EXAMPLE

a(4)=22 because 3142 and 2413 are the only permutations of 1,2,3,4 with no adjacent consecutive entries.

MAPLE

E:=x->sum(n!*x^n, n=0..35): G:=E(x)-E(x*(1-x)/(1+x)): Gser:=series(G, x=0, 30): seq(coeff(Gser, x, n), n=2..23);
