%N Number of odd terms in f^n, where f = 1/(x*y)+1/x+1/x*y+1/y+x+x*y.
%C This is the number of ON cells in a certain two-dimensional cellular automaton in which the neighborhood of a cell is defined by f, and in which a cell is ON iff there were an odd number of ON cells in the neighborhood at the previous generation.
%C This is the odd-rule cellular automaton defined by OddRule 347 (see Ekhad-Sloane-Zeilberger "Odd-Rule Cellular Automata on the Square Grid" link).
