FORMULA

G.f.: (2x^2) / (-1+4x-2x^2+sqrt(1-4x)).

G.f.: 1/(1-x-x/(1-2x-x^2/(1-2x-x^2/(1-2x-x^2/(1-..... (continued fraction). [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jan 19 2009]

G.f.: 1/(1-x-x/(1-x-x/(1-x-x^2/(1-x-x/(1-x-x^2/(1-x-x/(1-x-x^2/(1-x-x/(1-x-x^2/(1-x-x/(1-x-x^2/(1-... (continued fraction). [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jul 31 2010]

a(n)=sum(m=1..n-1, sum(k=1..n-m, k*binomial(m+k-1,m-1)*binomial(2*(n-m),n-m-k))/(n-m))+1, a(0)=0. [From Vladimir Kruchinin, Oct 11 2011]

a(n) is the upper left term in M^n, M = an infinite square production matrix with (1, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16,... powers of 2) as the left border, as follows:

1, 1, 0, 0, 0,...

1, 1, 1, 0, 0,...

2, 1, 1, 1, 0,...

4, 1, 1, 1, 1,...

... - Gary W. Adamson, Nov 14 2011

Conjecture: (n-1)*a(n) +3*(5-3*n)*a(n-1) +6*(4*n-9)*a(n-2) +(41-17*n)*a(n-3) +2*(2*n-5)*a(n-4) =0. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 15 2011

EXAMPLE

a(5)=78 because there are 78 permutations of size 5 that avoid 3421, 4312 and 4321.

PROG

(Maxima)

a(n):=if n=0 then 0 else sum(sum(k*binomial(m+k-1, m-1)*binomial(2*(n-m), n-m-k), k, 1, n-m)/(n-m), m, 1, n-1)+1; [From Vladimir Kruchinin, Oct 11 2011]
