COMMENTS

The g.f. for compositions of k_1 kinds of 1's, k_2 kinds of 2's, ..., k_j kinds of j's, ... is 1/(1-sum(j>=1, k_j * x^j )). [Joerg Arndt, Jul 06 2011]

Index to sequences with linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (3,0,-1).

FORMULA

G.f.: (1-x)/(1-3*x+x^3).

G.f.: 1/(1-(2*x+2*x^2+sum(j>=3, x^j )). [Joerg Arndt, Jul 06 2011]

a(n) = Sum( -1/9*(-2+r^2-r)*r^(-1-n), r=RootOf(1-3*x+x^3) )

a(0)=1, a(1)=2, a(2)=6, a(n)=3*a(n-1)-a(n-3) for n>=3. - Emeric Deutsch, Apr 10 2005

a(n) = left term in M^n * [1 0 0], where M = the 3X3 matrix [2 1 1 / 1 1 0 / 1 0 0]. Right term in M^n *[1 0 0] is a(n-1); middle term is A076264(n-1). - Gary W. Adamson, Sep 05 2005

3*a(n) = A123891(n+1). [From Jeffrey R. Goodwin, Jul 03 2011]

EXAMPLE

a(2)=6 because we have (2),(2'),(1,1),(1,1'),(1',1) and (1',1').

MAPLE

spec := [S, {S=Sequence(Union(Z, Prod(Z, Union(Z, Sequence(Z)))))}, unlabeled]: seq(combstruct[count](spec, size=n), n=0..20);
