COMMENTS
| a(n) is also the number of length n quaternary words with at least 4 0-digits between any other digits.
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>=9, 4*a(n-9) equals the number of 4-colored compositions of n with all parts >=5, such that no adjacent parts have the same color. - Milan Janjic, Nov 27 2011
