COMMENTS

Same as the number of strings of length n over GF(4) with trace x and subtrace 0 where x=RootOf(z^2+z+1). Same as the number of strings of length n over GF(4) with trace y and subtrace 0 where y=1+x.

LINKS

F. Ruskey Number of strings over GF(4) of given trace and subtrace

FORMULA

a(n; t, s) = a(n-1; t, s) + a(n-1; t-1, s-(t-1)) + a(n-1; t-2, s-2(t-2)) + a(n-1; t-3, s-3(t-3)) where t is the trace and s is the subtrace. Note that all operations involving operands t or s are carried out over GF(4).

G.f.: -(2*q^3-3*q^2+4*q-1)*q/[(1-2q)(1-4q)(1+4q^2)]. - Lawrence Sze, Oct 24 2004
