A193285 Number of forbidden patterns of length n of the map f(x) = 4x(1-x) on the unit interval. A permutation pi is a forbidden pattern if there is no x in [0,1] such that the values x,f(x),f(f(x)),...,f^{n-1}(x) are in the same relative order as pi_1,pi_2,...,pi_n. 3

%N Number of forbidden patterns of length n of the map f(x) = 4x(1-x) on the unit interval. A permutation pi is a forbidden pattern if there is no x in [0,1] such that the values x,f(x),f(f(x)),...,f^{n-1}(x) are in the same relative order as pi_1,pi_2,...,pi_n.

%C a(n) is also the number of forbidden patterns of length n of the tent map x -> 1-|1-2x| in [0,1].

%F a(n) = n! - A193284(n).

%e a(3) = 1 because the only forbidden pattern of length 3 is 321.

%Y Cf. A000142, A193284 (allowed patterns).
