COMMENTS

This type of vertex cartoon substitution can be counted by this Markov method. The 3by3 model is mirror symmetric in one plane.

Table of n, a(n) for n=0..20.

FORMULA

Vertex substitutions are: v2'=2*v2; v3'=3*v3; v4'=4*v4=2*v2: giving the matrix: M = {{2, 0, 2}, {0, 3, 0}, {0, 0, 4}}; The five vertex start has count vector: v(0)={0,4,1}; v(n)=M.v(n-1); a(n)=Sum[v(n)[[m]],{m,1,3}].

a(n) = 9*a(n-1)-26*a(n-2)+24*a(n-3) = 2*4^n+4*3^n-2^n. G.f.: (5-27x+32x^2)/((1-2x)(1-3x)(1-4x)). [From R. J. Mathar, Nov 09 2008]

MATHEMATICA

Clear[M, v, n, m, x]; M = {{2, 0, 2}, {0, 3, 0}, {0, 0, 4}}; v[0] = {0, 4, 1}; v[n_] := v[n] = M.v[n - 1]; Table[Sum[v[n][[m]], {m, 1, 3}], {n, 0, 20}]
