%N Spherical growth series for modular group.

%C Also number of sequences S of length n with entries in {1,..,q} where q = 3, satisfying the condition that adjacent terms differ in absolute value by exactly 1, see examples. - _W. Edwin Clark_, Oct 17 2008

%D P. de la Harpe, Topics in Geometric Group Theory, Univ. Chicago Press, 2000, p. 156.

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

%F a(n) = 2*a(n-2), n>2. - _Harvey P. Dale_, Oct 22 2011

%F a(2*n) = A151821(n+1); a(2*n+1) = A007283(n). - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Dec 16 2013

%e For n = 2 the a(2) = 4 sequences are (1,2),(2,1),(2,3),(3,2). - _W. Edwin Clark_, Oct 17 2008
