This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A232164 Number of Weyl group elements, not containing an s_r factor, which contribute nonzero terms to Kostant's weight multiplicity formula when computing the multiplicity of the zero-weight in the adjoint representation for the Lie algebra of type C and rank n.

Apart from the offset the same as A214663. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 27 2013
Apart from the initial 0, number of permutations of length n>=0 avoiding the partially ordered pattern (POP) {1>4} of length 4. That is, number of length n permutations having no subsequences of length 4 in which the first element is larger than the last element. - Sergey Kitaev, Dec 08 2020

Examples

			For n=4, a(4)= A232164(3) + A232164(2) + 3*A232164(1) + A232164(0) = 2+1+3*1+0=6.

Formula

a(n) = A232164(n-1) + A232164(n-2) + 3*A232164(n-3) + A232164(n-4).
From Colin Barker, Dec 31 2013: (Start)
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + 3*a(n-3) + a(n-4).
G.f.: -x/(x^4 + 3*x^3 + x^2 + x - 1). (End)
