COMMENTS

Used in the NRZ encoding to avoid substrings of more than 4 zeros.

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 2^3 - 1 = 7, since '000' is not a valid string, but all others are.

MATHEMATICA

m[x_] := If[x <= 4, 2^x,

If[x == 5, 31,

m[x - 1] + m[x - 2] + m[x - 3] + m[x - 4] + m[x - 5]]]

c[x_] := If[x <= 2, 0,

If[x == 3, 1,

If[x == 4, 3,

If[x == 5, 6,

If[x == 6, 12,

If[x == 7, 23,

If[x == 8, 45, 2*c[x - 1] - c[x - 6]]]]]]]]

valid[x_] := m[x] - c[x]
