Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
Arrangements that differ only in the direction in which the cycle is traversed do not count as different.
This sequence is the same as for straight permutations of {0,1,...,n} that begin with {0,1} and end with {n-1,n} but have no increasing or decreasing 3-sequence, viz., the sequence b(0,1...n-2,n-1) in Dymáček and Lambert.

With specified sequence 123:
a(5) = 1: 12354.
a(6) = 2: 123564, 123645.
