COMMENTS

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. 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.

FORMULA

a(i) = (i+22)*2^(i-12)

EXAMPLE

a(12)=34 since the palindromic compositions of 23 that contain a 11 are 11+1+11 and the 32 compositions of the form c+11+(reverse of c), where c represents a composition of 6.
