Formula

G.f.: (2 - 13*x + 26*x^2 - 17*x^3 + 4*x^4 - x*(1 - 2*x - x^2)*sqrt(1 - 4*x))/(2*sqrt(1 - 4*x)*(1 - 3*x + x^2)^2). - G. C. Greubel, Oct 22 2018

Example

There are 22 permutations of length 4 which avoid these two patterns, so a(4)=22.

Mathematica

CoefficientList[Series[(2 - 13*x + 26*x^2 - 17*x^3 + 4*x^4 - x*(1 - 2*x - x^2)*Sqrt[1 - 4*x])/(2*Sqrt[1 - 4*x]*(1 - 3*x + x^2)^2), {x, 0, 50}], x] (* G. C. Greubel, Oct 22 2018 *)
