A180564 Number of permutations of [n] having no isolated entries. An entry j of a permutation p is isolated if it is not preceded by j-1 and not followed by j+1. For example, the permutation 23178564 has 2 isolated entries: 1 and 4. 2

%N Number of permutations of [n] having no isolated entries. An entry j of a permutation p is isolated if it is not preceded by j-1 and not followed by j+1. For example, the permutation 23178564 has 2 isolated entries: 1 and 4.

%C a(n) = A180196(n,0).

%C a(n) = n! - A184181(n).

%H Alois P. Heinz, <a href="/A180564/b180564.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..893</a>

%F a(n) = Sum_{j=1..floor(n/2)} binomial(n-j-1, j-1)*(d(j) + d(j-1)), where d(i) = A000166(i) are the derangement numbers; a(0)=1.

%e a(5)=3 because we have 12345, 34512, and 45123.

%p d[ -1] := 0: d[0] := 1: for n to 50 do d[n] := n*d[n-1]+(-1)^n end do: a := proc (n) options operator, arrow: sum(binomial(n-j-1, j-1)*(d[j]+d[j-1]), j = 1 .. floor((1/2)*n)) end proc:a(0):=1: seq(a(n), n = 0 .. 32);

%p # second Maple program:

%p a:= proc(n) option remember; `if`(n<4, [1, 0, 1, 1][n+1],

%p (3*a(n-1)+(n-3)*a(n-2)-(n-3)*a(n-3)+(n-4)*a(n-4))/2)
