Comments

An up-jump j occurs at position i in p if p_{i} > p_{i-1} and j is the index of p_i in the increasingly sorted list of those elements in {p_{i}, ..., p_{n}} that are larger than p_{i-1}. A down-jump j occurs at position i in p if p_{i} < p_{i-1} and j is the index of p_i in the decreasingly sorted list of those elements in {p_{i}, ..., p_{n}} that are smaller than p_{i-1}. First index in the lists is 1 here.

Examples

			a(3) = 2: 312, 321.
a(4) = 5: 3124, 3142, 3214, 3241, 3421
a(5) = 12: 31245, 31425, 31452, 32145, 32415, 32451, 34215, 34251, 34521, 35214, 35241, 35421.
