COMMENTS

A small descent in a permutation p is a position i such that p(i)-p(i+1)=1.

A strong fixed point is a fixed point (or splitter) p(k)=k such that p(i) < k for i < k and p(j) > k for j > k.

FORMULA

For n > 2, a(n) = b(n)-c(n) where b(n) = A052186(n-1), c(n) = A346189(n).

EXAMPLE

For n = 4, the a(4) = 8 permutations on [4] with no strong fixed points but has small descents: {([2, 1], [4, 3]), (2, [4, 3], 1), ([3, 2], 4, 1), (3, 4, [2, 1]), (4, 1, [3, 2]), (4, [2, 1], 3), ([4, 3], 1, 2), (<4, 3, 2, 1>)} []small descent, <>consecutive small descents.
