COMMENTS

A new 4 symbol polynomial of the Weaver telegraphic type ( Prime like powers) : dot:x^2; dash:x^5; Letter space: x^3 ; Word space: x^7 ; p(x)=-1 - x^2 - x^4 - 2 x^7 - x^10 + x^12.

At C=-Log[0.7139184783743413]=0.336986 this has a lower channel capacity

than the Weaver C=0.539.

FORMULA

a(n) = +a(n-2) +2*a(n-5) +a(n-8) +a(n-10) +a(n-12).

EXAMPLE

Weaver determinant:

A0 = x^2;

B0 = x^5;

C0 = x^3;

D0 = x^7;

Expand[FullSimplify[ExpandAll[x^12*Det[{{-1, (1/B0 + 1/A0)}, {(1/D0 + 1/C0),

1/A0 + 1/B0 - 1}}]]]]

MATHEMATICA

p[x_] = -1 - x^2 - x^4 - 2 x^7 - x^10 + x^12; q[x_] = ExpandAll[x^12*p[1/x]]; a = Table[SeriesCoefficient[Series[1/q[x], {x, 0, 30}], n], {n, 0, 30}]
