COMMENTS
Also the number of (1,1,2)-matching or (2,1,1)-matching compositions.
We define a pattern to be a finite sequence covering an initial interval of positive integers. Patterns are counted by A000670 and ranked by A333217. A sequence S is said to match a pattern P if there is a not necessarily contiguous subsequence of S whose parts have the same relative order as P. For example, (3,1,1,3) matches (1,1,2), (2,1,1), and (2,1,2), but avoids (1,2,1), (1,2,2), and (2,2,1).
A composition of n is a finite sequence of positive integers summing to n.
FORMULA
a(n > 0) = 2^(n - 1) - A335471(n).
EXAMPLE
The a(4) = 1 through a(6) = 9 compositions:
(121) (131) (141)
(1121) (1131)
(1211) (1212)
(1221)
(1311)
(2121)
(11121)
(11211)
(12111)
