%N Number of strings of length n over Z_5 with trace 1 and subtrace 3.

%C Same as the number of strings of length n over Z_5 with: trace 2 and subtrace 2, trace 3 and subtrace 2, or trace 4 and subtrace 3.

%C Same as the number of strings of length n over GF(5) with: trace 1 and subtrace 3, trace 2 and subtrace 2, trace 3 and subtrace 2, or trace 4 and subtrace 3.

%F a(n; t, s) = a(n-1; t, s) + a(n-1; t+4, s+4t+1) + a(n-1; t+3, s+3t+4) + a(n-1; t+2, s+2t+4) + a(n-1; t+1, s+t+1).

%F Empirical g.f.: -x^2*(25*x^5-50*x^4+65*x^3-40*x^2+14*x-2) / ((5*x-1)*(5*x^2-1)*(25*x^4-25*x^3+15*x^2-5*x+1)). - _Colin Barker_, Nov 26 2014

%e a(2;3,2)=2 since the two 5-ary strings of trace 3, subtrace 2 and length 2 are { 12, 21 }.

%Y Cf. A073963, A073964, A073965, A073966, A073967, A073968, A073970.
