Table of n, a(n) for n=0..30.

R. A. Brualdi and Emeric Deutsch, Adjacent q-cycles in permutations, arXiv:1005.0781 [math.CO], 2010.

Formula

G.f.: (1/6) * Sum_{k>=3} k! * x^(k+9) / (1+x^4)^(k+1).

a(n) = (1/6) * Sum_{k=0..floor(n/4)-3} (-1)^k * (n-3*k-9)! / k!.

Prog

(PARI) my(N=30, x='x+O('x^N)); concat([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], Vec(sum(k=3, N, k!*x^(k+9)/(1+x^4)^(k+1))/6))
(PARI) a(n, k=3, q=4) = sum(j=0, n\q-k, (-1)^j*(n-(q-1)*(j+k))!/j!)/k!;
