COMMENTS

2*a(n-2) = 6^n-2*5^n+4^n is the number of 3 X n {0,1}-matrices such that: (a) first and second row have a common 1, (b) first and third row have a common 1, (c) second and third row have no a common 1. - Andy Fugard (a.fugard(AT)ed.ac.uk) and Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Jul 26 2008

This is the third column of the Sheffer triangle A143496 (4-restricted Stirling2 numbers). See A193685 for general comments. [From Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 08 2011]

FORMULA

a(n) = (4^n + 6^n - 2*5^n) /2. - Andy Fugard, Jul 22 2008

If we define f(m,j,x)=sum(binomial(m,k)*stirling2(k,j)*x^(m-k),k=j..m) then a(n-2)=f(n,2,4), (n>=2). [From Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Apr 26 2009]

O.g.f.:1/((1-4*x)*(1-5*x)(1-6*x)).

E.g.f.: diff(exp(4*x)*((exp(x)-1)^2)/2!,x$2). See the Sheffer triangle comment above. [From Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 08 2011]
