A129922 Number of 3-Carlitz compositions of n (or, more generally p-Carlitz compositions, p>1) i.e. words b_1^{i_1)b_2^{i_2}...b_k^{i_k} such that b_j's and i_j's are positive integers for which sum(j=1..k i_j*b_j)=n and for all j i_j < p and if b_j=b_{j+1} then i_j+i_{j+1} is not equal to p. The example is for p=3. 0

COMMENTS

For p=2 the sequence enumerates Carlitz compositions, A003242

REFERENCES

S. Corteel, P. Hitczenko, Generalizations of Carlitz compositions, preprint.

FORMULA

for general p the generating function = 1/(1-sum( k>0 z^k/(1-z^k)-p*z^(k*p)/(1-z^(k*p))))

EXAMPLE

for p=3 a(3)=4 because we can write: 3^{1},1^{1}2^{1},2^{1}1^{1}, 1^{1}1^{1}1^{1}
