COMMENTS
a(n) is the number of permutations of length n that are composed of an increasing segment, followed by a decreasing segment, followed by another decreasing segment. In other words, these permutation have a descent set of the form {i, i+1, ..., n-1} for some i or {i, i+1, ..., n-1}\{j} for some i and j > i.

FORMULA
a(n) = A027376(n)/2 - Sum_{i=2..n-1} (n+1-i)*A303979(n,i), when n is odd and n > 2;
a(n) = (A027376(n) + A133267(n/2))/2 - Sum_{i=2..n-1} (n+1-i)*A303979(n,i), when n = 2 (mod 4) and n > 2.
a(n) = (A027376(n) + A006575(n/2))/2 - Sum_{i=2..n-1} (n+1-i)*A303979(n,i), when n = 0 (mod 4) and n > 2.
