COMMENTS
Same as the number of strings of length n over Z_6 with trace 5 and subtrace 4.
FORMULA
a(n; t, s) = a(n-1; t, s) + a(n-1; t+5, s+5t+1) + a(n-1; t+4, s+4t+4) + a(n-1; t+3, s+3t+3) + a(n-1; t+2, s+2t+2) + a(n-1; t+1, s+t+1) where t is the trace and s is the subtrace.
EXAMPLE
a(2;5,4)=2 since the two 6-ary strings of trace 5, subtrace 4 and length 2 are { 14, 41 }.
