(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A152668 Number of runs of even entries in all permutations of {1,2,...,n} (the permutation 274831659 has 3 runs of even entries: 2, 48 and 6). 1
2, 6, 36, 192, 1440, 10800, 100800, 967680, 10886400, 127008000, 1676505600, 22992076800, 348713164800, 5492232345600, 94152554496000, 1673823191040000, 32011868528640000, 633834996867072000, 13380961044971520000 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)

COMMENTS

a(n)=Sum(k*A152667(n,k),k=1..floor(n/2)).

FORMULA

a(2n) = (n+1)(2n)!/2;

a(2n+1) = n(n+2)(2n)!

EXAMPLE

a(3)=6 because each of the permutations 123,132,213,231,312,321 has exactly 1 run of even entries.

MAPLE

ae := proc (n) options operator, arrow: (1/2)*factorial(2*n)*(n+1) end proc: ao := proc (n) options operator, arrow: n*(n+2)*factorial(2*n) end proc: a := proc (n) if `mod`(n, 2) = 0 then ae((1/2)*n) else ao((1/2)*n-1/2) end if end proc; seq(a(n), n = 2 .. 20);
