FORMULA

Let c^i(n) be the number of Khalimsky-continuous functions f from [0,n-1]_Z to [0,3]_Z such that f(n-1)=i for i=0,1,2,3 and let a(n) be their sum. Then a(n)=a(n-1)+2a(n-2)+c^1(n-3)+c^2(n-3).

This formula determines these numbers together with other formulas as follows:

c^0(2k + 1) = c^0(2k) + c^1(2k),

c^1(2k + 1) = c^1(2k),

c^2(2k + 1) = c^1(2k) + c^2(2k) + c^3(2k),

c^3(2k + 1) = c^3(2k) and

c^0(2k) = c^0(2k - 1),

c^1(2k) = c^0(2k - 1) + c^1(2k - 1) + c^2(2k - 1),

c^2(2k) = c^2(2k - 1),

c^3(2k) = c^2(2k - 1) + c^3(2k - 1).

Also for the asymptotic behavior, (c^1(n)+c^2(n))/(c^1(n-1)+c^2(n-1)), (c^0(n)+c^3(n))/(c^0(n-1)+c^3(n-1)) as well as a(n)/a(n-1) both tend to 1/2( sqrt(7+ sqrt(5)+ sqrt(38+14 sqrt(5)))) =~ 2.095293985.
