%N Number of permutations of [n] having at least one succession. A succession of a permutation p is a position i such that p(i+1)-p(i) = 1.

%C a(n) = A180190(n,1).

%C a(n+2) = p(n+2) where p(x) is the unique degree-n polynomial such that p(k) = k! for k = 1, ..., n+1. - _Michael Somos_, Jan 05 2012

%C From _Jon Perry_, Jan 04 2013: (Start)

%C Number of permutations of {1,...,n-1,n+1} with at least one indexed point p(k)=k with 1<=k<=n. Note that this means p(k)=n+1 is never an indexed point as k<n+1. Permutations of {1,2,4} with an indexed point p(k)=k are 124, 142 and 421, so a(3)=3.

%C For n>1, a(n) is the number of permutations of [n+1] that have a fixed point and contain 12; for example the a(3)=3 such permutations of {1,2,3,4} are 1234, 1243, and 3124.

%e a(3) = 3 because we have 123, 312, and 231; the permutations 132, 213, and 321 have no successions.

%e a(4) = 13 since p(x) = (3*x^2 - 7*x + 6) / 2 interpolates p(1) = 1, p(2) = 2, p(3) = 6, and p(4) = 13. - _Michael Somos_, Jan 05 2012
