%F E.g.f.: (6 + 6*sin(x) + 18*x*cos(x) - 9*x^2*sin(x) - x^3*cos(x)) / (6*cos(x) - 18*x*sin(x) - 9*x^2*cos(x) + x^3*sin(x)).

%e Viewing elements in one-line notation as a list of ordered pairs with first entries in [4] and second entries forming a permutation in S_n, two of the 100 up/not-up elements for n=3 are (1,2) (4,3) (3,1) and (1,1) (1,3) (4,2). Note that the first element goes up/down and the second goes up/not-up with respect to the weak product ordering on ordered pairs.
