COMMENTS

Number of pairs of polynomials (f,g) in GF(2)[x] satisfying deg(f) <=n, deg(g) <= n and gcd(f,g) = 1.

An unpublished result due to Stephen Suen, David desJardin and W. Edwin Clark. This the case k = 2, q = 2 of their formula q^((n+1)*k) * (1 - 1/q^(k-1) + (q-1)/q^((n+1)*k)) for the number of ordered k-tuples (f_1, ..., f_k) of polynomials in GF(q)[x] such that deg(f_i) <= n for all i and gcd((f_1, ..., f_k) = 1

Apparently the same as A084508 shifted left.

Terms in binary are palindromes of the form 1x1 where x is a string of 2*n zeros (A152577). - Brad Clardy, Sep 01 2011

For n > 0, a(n) is the number k such that the number of iterations of the map k -> (3k +1)/8 == 4 (mod 8) until reaching (3k +1)/8 <> 4 (mod 8) equals n. (see the Collatz problem : the start of the parity trajectory of a(n) is n times {100} = 100100100100…100abcd…).- Michel Lagneau, Jan 23 2012

FORMULA

G.f.: (3-6*x)/((1-x)*(1-4*x)).

a(n) = 3 *A007583(n).

a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 3. - Lekraj Beedassy , Apr 29 2005

a(n) = A099393(n+1) - 2*A099393(n). - Brad Clardy, Sep 01 2011

EXAMPLE

a(0) = 3 since there are three pairs, (0,1), (1,0) and (1,1) of polynomials (f,g) in GF(2)[x] of degree at most 0 such that gcd(f,g) = 1.
