%N Number of parity-alternating permutations of [n] avoiding the pattern 123.

%C A permutation is parity-alternating if it sends odd integers to odd integers, and even integers to even integers. It avoids 123 if there is no subsequence a..b..c with a < b < c. The values are computed by Michael Albert, see MathOverflow link.

%C The odd-indexed entries agree with the odd-indexed entries in A354208. A bijection is given by reversing the permutation.

%e For n=4, the three permutations are 3412, 3214, 1432.

%e For n=5, we have 54321, 52143, 32541.

%e For n=6, we have 563412, 563214, 543612, 543216, 561432, 541632, 365412, 365214, 321654, 165432.
