COMMENTS

The compositions of n in which each natural number is colored by one of p different colors are called p-colored compositions of n. For n>=11, 3*a(n-11) equals the number of 3-colored compositions of n with all parts >=6, such that no adjacent parts have the same color. - Milan Janjic, Nov 27 2011

FORMULA

G.f.: 1/(x^5*(1-x-2*x^6)).
