%N Number of permutations of 1..n avoiding adjacent step pattern up, down, down.

%C Suppose j<i, k<j and k<m. To avoid ijkm means not to have four consecutive letters such that the first letter is larger than the second one, the second letter is larger than the third one, and the fourth letter is larger than the third one.
