%N Number of binary strings of length n with no substrings equal to 0000 or 0010.

%C Also, number of subsets of {1,...,n} not containing {a,a+1,a+3} for any a. Also, the number of subsets of {1,...,n} not containing {a,a+2,a+3} for any a. - _David Nacin_, Mar 07 2012

%H N. J. A. Sloane, <a href="/A164387/b164387.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000</a> [Replaces R. H. Hardin's b-file of 500 terms]

%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_05">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (1,1,0,1,1).

%F From _N. J. A. Sloane_, Mar 31 2011: (Start)

%F For n >= 5, a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + a(n-4) + a(n-5).

%F G.f.: (1 + x + x^2 + 2*x^3 + x^4)/(1 - x - x^2 - x^4 - x^5). (End)

%e When n=5, the bitstrings containing 0000 or 0010 are 00000, 10000, 00001, 10010, 00010, 00100, 00101. Thus a(5) = 2^5 - 7. - _David Nacin_, Mar 07 2012

%p f:=proc(n) option remember;

%p if n <= 3 then 2^n elif n=4 then 14

%p else f(n-1)+f(n-2)+f(n-4)+f(n-5); fi; end;
