FORMULA

a(n)=1+3^(n-1)+sum_{i=1}^{n-1} (1+3^(i-1))a(n-i)

a(n) = 6a(n - 1) - 7a(n - 2), a(n) = ((4 + sqrt(2)) (3 + sqrt(2))^n + (4 - sqrt(2)) (3 - sqrt(2))^n)/14 - N. Sato (nsato7(AT)yahoo.ca), May 10 2006

G.f.: (1-x)*(1-3*x)/(1-6*x+7*x^2). - Richard Stanley, Dec 09 2011

EXAMPLE

For a 2 X 2 rectangle we have: 11 11 12 11 12 21 23 12 11 22 12 23 13 31 11 23
