COMMENTS

Appears to be number of edges in graph where nodes are binary vectors of length n, two nodes u, v being joined by an edge if there's a vector of length n-1 that can be reached from u by deleting a bit and from v by deleting a bit. An independent set in this graph is a code that will correct single deletions.

Binomial transform of A005893: (1, 4, 10, 20, 34, 52, 74,...) = (1, 5, 19, 63, 191,...). - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 28 2008

Let A be the Hessenberg matrix of order n defined by: A[1,j]=1, A[i,i]:=2,(i>1), A[i,i-1]=-1, and A[i,j]=0 otherwise. Then, for n>=2, a(n-1)= (-1)^n*coeff(charpoly(A,x),x^2). [From Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Jan 26 2010]

FORMULA

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

a(n)=2^(n-2)*(n^2-n+4)-1.

CROSSREFS

The size of a maximal independent set in this graph (1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 6, 10, ...) agrees with A000016 for n <= 7 (and probably for n=8).

Cf. A005893.
