Table of n, a(n) for n=1..30.

S. Fishel, E. Milicevic, R. Patrias, and B. E. Tenner, Enumerations relating braid and commutation classes, arXiv:1708.04372 [math.CO], 2017.

Formula

a(1) = 1 and a(n) = C(n) + n - 2 for n > 1, where C(n) is the n-th Catalan number.

Example

a(3) = 6 because all six permutations in S_3 have this property.
