A074355
Coefficient of q^1 in nu(n), where nu(0)=1, nu(1)=b and, for n>=2, nu(n)=b*nu(n-1)+lambda*(1+q+q^2+...+q^(n-2))*nu(n-2) with (b,lambda)=(1,3).

FORMULA
G.f.: (9x^4+3x^3)/(1-3x-3x^2)^2 (conjectured). - Ralf Stephan, May 09 2004
EXAMPLE
The first 6 nu polynomials are nu(0)=1, nu(1)=1, nu(2)=4, nu(3)=7+3q, nu(4)=19+15q+12q^2, nu(5)=40+45q+42q^2+30q^3+9q^4, so the coefficients of q^1 are 0,0,0,3,15,45.
MAPLE
nu := proc(n, b, lambda) option remember ; if n = 0 then 1 ; elif n = 1 then b ; else b*nu(n-1, b, lambda)+lambda*nu(n-2, b, lambda)*add(q^i, i=0..n-2) ; fi ; end:
A074355 := proc(n) local b, lambda, thisnu ; b := 1 ; lambda := 3 ; thisnu := nu(n, b, lambda) ; RETURN( coeftayl(thisnu, q=0, 1) ) ; end: # R. J. Mathar, Mar 20 2007
MATHEMATICA
nu[n_, b_, lambda_] := nu[n, b, lambda] = Which[ n == 0, 1, n == 1, b, True, b*nu[n - 1, b, lambda] + lambda*nu[n - 2, b, lambda]*Sum[q^i, {i, 0, n - 2}]];
a[n_] := a[n] = Coefficient[nu[n, 1, 3], q, 1];
Table[an = a[n]; Print["a(", n, ") = ", an]; an, {n, 0, 30}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Nov 23 2017, from 1st Maple program *)
CROSSREFS
Coefficient of q^0, q^2 and q^3 are in A006130, A074356 and A074357. Related sequences with other values of b and lambda are in A074082-A074089, A074352-A074354, A074358-A074363.
