Number of '12-3 and 321-4'-avoiding permutations.
Set partitions into sets of size at most 4. The e.g.f. for partitions into sets of size at most s is exp( sum(j=1..s, x^j/j!) ). [Joerg Arndt, Dec 07 2012]
Also called restricted Stirling numbers of the second kind (see Mezo). - N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 27 2013

FORMULA
E.g.f.: exp( x + x^2/2 + x^3/6 + x^4/24 ). - Ralf Stephan, Apr 22 2004
a(n) = n! * sum(k=1..n, 1/k! * sum(j=0..k, C(k,j) * sum(i=j..n-k+j, C(j,i-j) * C(k-j,n-3*k+3*j-i) * 2^(5*k-4*j+i-2*n) * 3^(j-k)))). [Vladimir Kruchinin, Jan 25 2011]
a(n) = G(n,4) with G(0,i) = 1, G(n,i) = 0 for n>0 and i<1, otherwise G(n,i) = Sum_{j=0..floor(n/i)} G(n-i*j,i-1) * n!/(i!^j*(n-i*j)!*j!). - Alois P. Heinz, Apr 20 2012
Recurrence: 6*a(n) = 6*a(n-1) + 6*(n-1)*a(n-2) + 3*(n-2)*(n-1)*a(n-3) + (n-3)*(n-2)*(n-1)*a(n-4). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Sep 15 2013
a(n) ~ n^(3*n/4)*exp(31*(6*n)^(1/4)/64 + 5*sqrt(6*n)/16 + (6*n)^(3/4)/6 - 3*n/4 - 21/32)/(2*6^(n/4)) * (1 + 1599*6^(3/4)/(40960*n^(1/4)) + 280873603/1677721600*sqrt(6/n) + 33870741297579 /240518168576000 *6^(1/4)/n^(3/4)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Sep 15 2013
