FORMULA

G.f.: (1+6*x^2+x^4)/((1-x)^5*(1-x^2)^4) [ N. J. A. Sloane (njas(AT)research.att.com) ]

l(c, r) = 1/2 binomial(c+r-3, r) + 1/2 d(c, r), where d(c, r) is binomial((c + r - 3)/2, r/2) if c is odd and r is even, 0 if c is even and r is odd, binomial((c + r - 4)/2, r/2) if c is even and r is even, binomial((c + r - 4)/2, (r - 1)/2) if c is odd and r is odd.
