Number of aa-avoiding words of length n on the alphabet {a,b,c,d}.
Equals row 3 of the array shown in A180165, the INVERT transform of A028859 and the INVERTi transform of A086347. - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 14 2010
From Tom Copeland, Nov 08 2014: (Start)
This array is one of a family related by compositions of C(x)= [1-sqrt(1-4x)]/2, an o.g.f. for A000108; its inverse Cinv(x) = x(1-x); and the special Mobius transformation P(x,t) = x / (1+t*x) with inverse P(x,-t) in x. Cf. A091867.
O.g.f.: G(x) = P[P[P[-Cinv(-x),-1],-1],-1] = P[-Cinv(-x),-3] = x*(1+x)/[1-3x(1-x)]= x*A125145(x).
Ginv(x) = -C[-P(x,3)] = [-1 + sqrt(1+4x/(1+3x))]/2 = x*A104455(-x).
G(-x) = -x(1-x) * [ 1 - 3*[x*(1+x)] + 3^2*[x*(1+x)]^2 - ...] , and so this array is related to finite differences in the row sums of A030528 * Diag((-3)^1,3^2,(-3)^3,..). (Cf. A146559.)
The inverse of -G(-x) is C[-P(-x,3)]= [1 - sqrt(1-4x/(1-3x))]/2 = x*A104455(x). (End)
Number of 3-compositions of n+1 restricted to parts 1 and 2 (and allowed zeros); see Hopkins & Ouvry reference. - Brian Hopkins, Aug 16 2020
