A073953 Number of strings over Z_4 of length n with trace 0 and subtrace 0. 10
1, 2, 4, 8, 56, 272, 1184, 4763, 17536, 65792 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)

1,2

COMMENTS

a(n; 0,0) where a(n; t,s) is the number of length n 4-ary strings whose digits sum to t mod 4 and whose sum of products of all pairs of digits sum to s mod 4.

LINKS

F. Ruskey, Strings over Z_4 of given Trace and Subtrace

FORMULA

a(n; t, s) = a(n-1; t, s) + a(n-1; t+3, s+3t+1) + a(n-1; t+2, s+2t) + a(n-1; t+1, s+t+1) where t is the trace and s is the subtrace.

EXAMPLE

a(3;0,0)=4 since the four 4-ary strings of trace 0, subtrace 0 and length 3 are { 000, 022, 202, 220 }.
