%N Number of ternary Lyndon words of length n with exactly two 1's.

%C If the offsets are modified, A124720 to A124723 are the 2nd to 5th Witt transform of A000079 [Moree]. - _R. J. Mathar_, Nov 08 2008

%C a(n+2) is the number of distinct unordered pairs of binay words having a total length of n letters: a(2+2) = 5 because we have the unordered pairs: (e,00),(e,01), (e,10), (e,11), (0,1) where e represents the empty word. Each pair has a total of 2 letters and the two elements of each pair are distinct words. - _Geoffrey Critzer_, Feb 28 2013

%F G.f.: x^3*(2-3 x)/((1-2 x^2)(1- 2x)^2) = (x^2/(1-2x)^2 - x^2/(1-2*x^2))/2.

%F From _Colin Barker_, Oct 28 2016: (Start)

%F a(n) = 2^(n-3)*(n-1)-2^(n/2-2) for n even.

%F a(n) = 2^(n-3)*n-2^(n-3) for n odd.

%F a(n) = 4*a(n-1)-2*a(n-2)-8*a(n-3)+8*a(n-4) for n>6.

%F (End)

%e a(4) = 5 because 1122, 1123, 1132, 1213, 1133 are all Lyndon words on 3 letters with 2 ones.
