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.

Second trisection of A026741.
A111329(n+1) = A000041(a(n)). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Nov 19 2009
We observe that this sequence is a particular case of sequence for which there exists q: a(n+3) = (a(n+2)*a(n+1)+q)/a(n) for every n >= n0. Here q=-9 and n0=0. - Richard Choulet, Mar 01 2010
The entries are also encountered via the bilinear transform approximation to the natural log (unit circle). Specifically, evaluating 2(z-1)/(z+1) at z = 2, 3, 4, ..., A165355 entries stem from the pair (sums) seen 2 ahead of each new successive prime. For clarity, the evaluation output is 2, 3, 1, 1, 6, 5, 4, 3, 10, 7, 3, 2, 14, 9, 8, 5, 18, 11, ..., where (1+1), (4+3), (3+2), (8+5), ... generate the A165355 entries (after the first). As an aside, the same mechanism links A165355 to A140777. - Bill McEachen, Jan 08 2015
As a follow-up to the previous comment, it appears that the numerators and denominators of 2(z-1)/(z+1) are respectively given by A145979 and A060819, but with different offsets. - Michel Marcus, Jan 14 2015

1 3 5 4 2 is the 11th permutation, in lexical order. of order 5. Its reverse 2 4 5 3 1 is the 41st. The earliest permutation of order 6 is the 41st, 1 3 5 6 4 2. This pattern continues as far as I have looked, so its reversal 2 4 6 5 3 1 is the 191st and the earliest permutation of order 7 is the 191st, et cetera.
Comments from Dmitry Kamenetsky, Dec 15 2006: (Start)
This sequence is related to A026035, except here we take the maximum sum of products of successive pairs. Here is a method for generating such permutations. Start with two lists, the first has numbers 1 to n, while the second is empty.
Repeat the following operations until the first list is empty: 1. Move the smallest number of the first list to the leftmost available position in the second list. The move operation removes the original number from the first list. 2. Move the smallest number of the first list to the rightmost available position in the second list. For example when n=8, the permutation is 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 6, 4, 2. (End)

For n>0, a(n) is row 2 of the convolution array A213751. - Clark Kimberling, Jun 20 2012

Examples

			The permutations of order 5 with maximum sum of products is 1 3 5 4 2 and its reverse, since (1*3)+(3*5)+(5*4)+(4*2) is 46. All others are empirically less than 46. So a(4) = 46.

The Stirling-Frobenius subset numbers S_{m}(n,k), for m >= 1 fixed, regarded as an infinite lower triangular matrix, can be inverted by Sum_{k} S_{m}(n,k)*s_{m}(k,j)*(-1)^(n-k) = [j = n]. The inverse numbers s_{m}(k,j), which are unsigned, are the Stirling-Frobenius cycle numbers. For m = 1 this gives the classical Stirling cycle numbers A132393. The Stirling-Frobenius subset numbers are defined in A225468.

This may also be construed as the number of line segments illustrating the isometric projection of a cube of side length n. Moreover, a(n) equals the number of rods making a cube of side length n+1 minus the number of rods making a cube of side length n. See the illustration in the links and formula below.
