COMMENTS

Number of binary sequences of length n-2 with no subsequence 0110. E.g. a(7)=28 because among the 32 (=2^5) binary sequences of length 5 only 01100,01101,00110 and 10110 contain the subsequence 0110. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), May 04 2006

This is a_3(n) in the Doroslovacki reference. - Max Alekseyev, Jun 26 2007

Column 0 of A118890. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), May 04 2006

FORMULA

a(n)=2*a(n-1)-a(n-3)+a(n-4); 4 initial terms required.
