OFFSET

0,2

COMMENTS

Also minimal 3-covers of a labeled n-set that cover 3 points of that set uniquely (if offset is 3). Cf. A057524 for unlabeled case - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Sep 02 2000

Also convolution of A020918 with A000984 (central binomial coefficients)

Let M=[1,0,0,i;0,1,i,0;0,i,1,0;i,0,0,1], i=sqrt(-1). Then 1/det(I-xM)=1/(1-4x)^4. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Apr 27 2005

With a different offset, number of n-permutations (n=4)of 5 objects u, v, w, z, x with repetition allowed, containing exactly three u's. Example: a(1)=16 because we have uuuv, uuvu, uvuu, vuuu, uuuw, uuwu, uwuu, wuuu, uuuz, uuzu, uzuu, zuuu, uuux, uuxu, uxuu and xuuu - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), May 19 2008

From A152818. a(n)=A006044/6. [From Paul Curtz (bpcrtz(AT)free.fr), Jan 07 2009]

Also convolution of A000302 with A038845, also convolution of A002457 with A002802, also convolution of A002697. [From Rui Duarte, Oct 08 2011]
