Hi everyone ! Can anyone knows the expected number of elements p[i] with the following property in a permutation of size N ? Property: p[i-1] < p[i] > p[i+1] i.e., it is the local maxima in the permutation ? Note : Please do mention the mathematical proof if possible !

You can use the "Contribution to the sum" technique (Have a look into this post)
It's not clear how can i apply this technique to solve the above problem . Can you explain how ?
If I'm correct, for each $$$1<i<n$$$ , the possibility that it is the biggest one among $$$p_{i-1},p_i,p_{i+1}$$$ is $$$\frac{1}{3}$$$, so the answer is $$$\frac{n-2}{3}$$$
How all the events for 1 < i < n can be independent and we adding here simply , since if p[i] is max then why the p[i + 1] is max will carry 1/3 probability ? What my rough guess is it should be O(log(N)) cause let the max element is in the middle and then the next smaller element will be possibly found in N/2 elements to the left or the right and then the next smaller element will be possibly found in N/4 elements to the left or the right and so on ... i.e., if we simulate from N to 3 then we can have something like the above ? P.S. Note that it's my guess .
I just wrote a bruteforce to ensure that I'm correct. You can check the code below.
I think you just didn't understand the "contribution to the sum" idea. We don't care if they are independent or not, we are calculating the sum of contribution that the $$$i$$$-th index added to the answer among all permutations.
If we put n = 5 here in your code then i am getting around 0.6667 . How can the formula (n-2)/3 which is around 1 here is equivalent ?
I was running it on Custom Tests and I got 1.000.
yeah right it's 1.000 . But still it's unreal that how can then my submission passes in the Problem Link:https://codeforces.net/contest/1156/problem/E Solution Link :https://codeforces.net/submissions/Harshlyn94
for (int j = i - 1 ; j >= 0 && a[j] < cur; j--)for (int j = i + 1 ; j < n && a[j] < cur ; j++)This actually runs in $$$O(n \log n)$$$ on random permutations. (It is equal to the sum of subtree-size of the cartesian tree of the permutation)
