COMMENTS
Circular permutations are permutations whose indices are from the ring of integers modulo n. Increasing 3-sequences are of the form i,i+1,i+2, while decreasing 3-sequences are of the form i,i-1,i-2.

FORMULA
a(n) = A095816(n-1) - 2 * Sum{i=1,[n/3], A095816(n-3i) - A095816(n-1-3i)}.
EXAMPLE
For n=4 the a(4)=4 solutions are (0,1,3,2), (0,2,1,3), (0,2,3,1), and (0,3,1,2).
