COMMENTS

Comment from wouter.meeussen(AT)pandora.be, Mar 06 2004: the repeated substitution 0 -> {0,1,2}, 1 -> {0,1,2,3}, 2 -> {0,1}, 3 -> {0,1,2}, starting on list {0} and flattening at each step { {sequence1}, {sequence2},..} to {sequence1,sequence2,..} generates a list after n steps with length =a(n)=A078039.

Sequence is identical to its second differences negated, minus the first 3 terms. - Paul Curtz (bpcrtz(AT)free.fr), Feb 10 2008

FORMULA

a(n)=-a(n-1)+2a(n-2)-a(n-3). - Paul Curtz (bpcrtz(AT)free.fr), Feb 10 2008
