A289608

a(n) is the number of permutations of length n that avoid the pattern 321 and the mesh pattern (12, 313) or the same sequence for the mesh pattern (12, 403).

FORMULA

From Thomas Scheuerle, Dec 18 2025: (Start)

G.f.: -(-16*x^8 + 40*x^7 - 32*x^6 + 20*x^5 - 8*x^3 + 10*x^2 - 8*x + 2*sqrt(1 - 4*x)*(x - 1)^2*(2*x - 1) + 2)/(4*(x - 1)^2*x*(2*x - 1)).

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

a(n) = A289609(n) - 1, for n > 4. (End)
