Padovan Enumeration of Cyclic Avoiders

Abstract

The cyclic avoidance numbers for 4132 and 1324 follow a subsequence of the Padovan numbers.

Commentary.

For every positive n, the number of cyclic permutations avoiding 4132 in one-line form and 1324 in every cycle form equals the Padovan number at index three times n.
