COMMENTS

a(n) = the number of occurrences of 3s in the palindromic compositions of m = 2*n-1 = the number of occurrences of 4s in the palindromic compositions of k = 2*n.

This sequence is part of a family of sequences, namely R(n,k), the number of ks in palindromic compositions of n. See also A057711, A001792, A078836, A079861, A079862, A079863. General formula: R(n,k)=2^(floor(n/2) - k) * (2 + floor(n/2) - k) if n and k have different parity and R(n,k)=2^(floor(n/2) - k) * (2 + floor(n/2) - k + 2^(floor((k+1)/2 - 1)) otherwise, for n >= 2k.

Number of 2 X n binary matrices avoiding simultaneously the right angled numbered polyomino patterns (ranpp) (00;1), (10;0) and (01;1). An occurrence of a ranpp (xy;z) in a matrix A=(a(i,j)) is a triple (a(i1,j1), a(i1,j2), a(i2,j1)) where i1<i2, j1<j2 and these elements are in same relative order as those in the triple (x,y,z). - Sergey Kitaev (kitaev(AT)ms.uky.edu), Nov 11 2004

FORMULA

O.g.f.: 2x^4(2-3x)/(1-2x)^2. a(n)=2*A045623(n-3). - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jun 13 2008

EXAMPLE

a(4)=4 since the palindromic compositions of 7 that contain a 3 are 2+3+2, 1+1+3+1+1 and 3+1+3, for a total of 4 3s. The palindromic compositions of 8 that contain a 4 are 2+4+2, 1+1+4+1+1 and 4+4.
