%F G.f.: (1 - x)*(1 - 3*x)^2 / ((1 - 2*x)^2*(1 - 4*x + x^2)).
%F From _Colin Barker_, Oct 31 2017: (Start)
%F a(n) = (1/18)*(2*(3*2^n - (-3+sqrt(3))*(2+sqrt(3))^n + (2-sqrt(3))^n*(3+sqrt(3))) - 3*2^n*n).
%F a(n) = 8*a(n-1) - 21*a(n-2) + 20*a(n-3) - 4*a(n-4) for n>3.
%F (End)
%e There are 22 permutations of length 4 which avoid these two patterns, so a(4)=22.
