COMMENTS

For n>=2, a(n)= Number of "stable LEGO walls" (i.e., walls in which seams don't match up from one level to the next) of width 7 and height n-1 when using bricks of length 2, 3, and 4. For example, there are a(2)=5 stable LEGO walls of height 1 and they are {[2,2,3],[2,3,2],[3,2,2],[3,4],[4,3]}. [From Emilie Hogan (eahogan(AT)math.rutgers.edu), Oct 16 2009]

FORMULA

Conjecture: a(n)=2*a(n-1)+2*a(n-2)-2*a(n-3) with g.f. (1-x^2)/(1-2*x-2*x^2+2*x^3). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Nov 10 2009]
