A length n inversion sequence e_1e_2...e_n is a sequence of integers such that 0 <= e_i < i. The term a(n) counts the inversion sequences of length n with no entries e_i, e_{i+1}, e_{i+2} such that e_i != e_{i+1} < e_{i+2}. This is the same as the set of inversion sequences of length n avoiding the consecutive patterns 012, 101, 102, and 201.

EXAMPLE
The a(4)=14 length 4 inversion sequences avoiding the consecutive patterns 012, 101, 102, and 201 are 0000, 0100, 0010, 0110, 0020, 0001, 0011, 0111, 0021, 0002, 0112, 0022, 0003, and 0113.
