%N Number of permutations of 1..n avoiding adjacent step pattern up, down, up.
%C Suppose a < b, c < b, and c < d. To avoid abcd means not to have four consecutive letters such that the first letter is less than the second one, the third letter is less than the second one, and the third letter is less than the last one.
