Coefficient of the highest power of q in the expansion of nu(0)=1, nu(1)=b and for n>=2, nu(n)=b*nu(n-1)+lambda*(n-1)_q*nu(n-2) with (b,lambda)=(3,1), where (n)_q=(1+q+...+q^(n-1)) and q is a root of unity.

COMMENTS
Instead of listing the coefficients of the highest power of q in each nu(n), if we list the coefficients of the smallest power of q (i.e., constant terms), we get a weighted Fibonacci numbers described by f(0)=1, f(1)=1, for n>=2, f(n)=3f(n-1)+f(n-2).

FORMULA
For given b and lambda, the recurrence relation is given by; t(0)=1, t(1)=b, t(2)=b^2+lambda and for n>=3, t(n)=lambda*T(n-2).

EXAMPLE
nu(0)=1, nu(1)=3, nu(2)=10, nu(3)=33+3q, nu(4)=109+19q+10q^2, nu(5)=360+93q+66q^2+36q^3+3q^4, nu(6)=1189+407q+336q^2+246q^3+147q^4+29q^5+10q^6. By listing the coefficients of the highest power in each nu(n) we get 1,3,10,3,10,3,10,...
