COMMENTS

A000005(a(n)) = A000290(n+1). - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Mar 04 2007

If X_1, X_2, ..., X_n is a partition of the set {1,2,...,2*n} into blocks of size 2 then, for n>=1, a(n) is equal to the number of functions f : {1,2,..., 2*n}->{1,2,3,4} such that for fixed y_1,y_2,...,y_n in {1,2,3,4} we have f(X_i)<>{y_i}, (i=1,2,...,n). - Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), May 24 2007

The compositions of n in which each natural number is colored by one of p different colors are called p-colored compositions of n. For n>=1, a(n) equals the number of 15-colored compositions of n such that no adjacent parts have the same color. - Milan Janjic, Nov 17 2011
