Formula

a(n) = A234597(n) + A234576(n).

a(n) = 3*A234576(n-1) + 2*A234576(n-2) + 6*A234576(n-3) + 2*A234576(n-4).

G.f.: x^4*(2*x^3 + 8*x^2 + 9*x + 9)/(-x^4 - 3*x^3 - x^2 - x + 1). - Ralf Stephan, Jan 05 2014

Example

For n = 8, a(n) = 107+73 = 180 and a(n) = 3(34) + 2(14) + 6(7) + 2(4) = 180.

Maple

r:=proc(n::nonnegint)
if n<=3 then return 0:
elif n=4 then return 4:
elif n=5 then return 7:
elif n=6 then return 14:
elif n=7 then return 34:
else return
r(n-1)+r(n-2)+3*r(n-3)+r(n-4):
end if;
end proc:
a:=proc(n::nonnegint)
if n<=3 then return 0:
elif n=4 then return 9:
elif n=5 then return 18:
elif n=6 then return 35:
elif n=5 then return 82:
else return
3*r(n-1)+2*r(n-2)+6*r(n-3)+2*r(n-4):
