%N Number of cyclic patterns of length n that avoid the vincular pattern 23-1-4.

%C The vincular pattern 23-1-4 requires the 2 and the 3 to be adjacent.

%C By the trivial Wilf equivalence obtained by reversing the permutations, a(n) is also the number of cyclic patterns of length n that avoid the vincular pattern 32-4-1.
