COMMENTS
A derangement is a permutation with no fixed points. A succession of a permutation p is a position i such that p(i+1)-p(i) = 1.
FORMULA
a(n) = n! - A207819(n).
EXAMPLE
For n=4 we have 2143, 2413, 3142 and 4321, so a(4) = 4.
MAPLE
F:= proc(S) add(G(S minus {s}, s-1), s = S minus {nops(S)}) end proc:
G:= proc(S, t) option remember;
if S = {} then return 1 fi;
add(procname(S minus {s}, s-1), s = S minus {t, nops(S)})
end proc:
1, seq(F({$1..n}), n=1..19); # Robert Israel, Mar 02 2017
MATHEMATICA
F[{}] = 1; F[S_] := Sum[G[S ~Complement~ {s}, s-1], {s, S ~Complement~ {Length[S]}}];
G[{}, _] = 1; G[S_, t_] := G[S, t] = Sum[G[S ~Complement~ {s}, s-1], {s, S ~Complement~ {t, Length[S]}}];
Table[a[n] = F[Range[n]]; Print[n, " ", a[n]]; a[n], {n, 0, 20}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Mar 05 2019, after Robert Israel *)
