COMMENTS

Let A be the tridiagonal unit-primitive matrix (see [Jeffery]) A = A_{9,1} = [0,1,0,0; 1,0,1,0; 0,1,0,1; 0,0,1,1]. Then a(n)=[A^n]_(2,3). - L. Edson Jeffery, Mar 19 2011

FORMULA

G.f.: -1/(-1+3*x^2+x^3)

Recurrence: {a(1)=0, a(0)=1, a(2)=3, a(n)+3*a(n+1)-a(n+3)=0.}

Sum(1/9*(-1+5*_alpha+2*_alpha^2)*_alpha^(-1-n), _alpha=RootOf(-1+3*_Z^2+_Z^3))

a(n)=sum{k=0..floor(n/2), binomial(k, n-2k)3^(3k-n)} - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Oct 04 2004

a(n)=A187497(3*(n+1)). - L. Edson Jeffery, Mar 19 2011.

MAPLE

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