COMMENTS

Number of ways zero or more black and white stones can be placed on the points of a 2 X n grid such that no white stones are adjacent to any black stones. A078057 is a related case, where the grid is 1 X n. - Wayne VanWeerthuizen (waynemv(AT)yahoo.com), May 04 2004

FORMULA

a[0]=1, a[n]=5*a[n-1]+a[n-2]-a[n-3]. - Wayne VanWeerthuizen (waynemv(AT)yahoo.com), May 04 2004

a(n) = a(n-1) + 17*a(n-2) + 23*a(n-3) + a(n-4) - 9*a(n-5) - a(n-6) + a(n-7)
