cp's OEIS Frontend

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.

A329550 Total number of consecutive triples of the form (odd, even, odd) or (even, odd, even) in all permutations of [n].

Programs

  • Maple
    a:= proc(n) option remember; `if`(n<5, [0$3, 2, 16][n+1],
         (n-2)*(2*(n-4)*a(n-1)+(n-3)^2*n*a(n-2))/(n-3)/(n-4))
        end:
    seq(a(n), n=0..30);
  • Mathematica
    a[n_] := a[n] = If[n < 5, {0, 0, 0, 2, 16}[[n+1]],
         (n-2)*(2*(n-4)*a[n-1] + (n-3)^2*n*a[n-2])/(n-3)/(n-4)];
    Table[a[n], {n, 0, 30}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Apr 21 2022, after Alois P. Heinz *)
