A289614 a(n) is the number of permutations of length n that avoid the pattern 321 and the mesh pattern (12, 283) or the same sequence for the mesh pattern (12, 433).

Formula

From Thomas Scheuerle, Dec 18 2025: (Start)

G.f.: -(-2*x^7 + 2*x^6 + 2*x^4 + 2*x^3 - x^2 + 2*x + sqrt(1 - 4*x)*(x - 1)^2 - 1)/(2*(x - 1)^2*x).

a(n) = C(n) - 2*n + 2, for n > 4, where C(n) is the Catalan number A000108.

a(n) = A289615(n) + A289616(n) - A289652(n).

a(n) = A289607(n) + A289610(n) - A289604(n). (End)
