COMMENT

Number of ascending runs of length at least two in all permutations of [n]. Example: a(3)=5 because we have (123), (13)2, 3(12), 2(13), (23)1 and 321, where the ascending runs of length at least 2 are shown between parentheses. - Emeric Deutsch and Ira Gessel (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Sep 07 2004
