Number of monic irreducible polynomials of degree 1 in GF(2^n)[x,y,z]. - Max Alekseyev, Jan 23 2006
FORMULA
G.f.: 1/(1-2*x)+1/(1-4*x)+1/(1-8*x). E.g.f.: exp(2*x)+exp(4*x)+exp(8*x). [Mohammad K. Azarian, Dec 26 2008]
Let A=[1, 1, 1;2, 0, -2;1, -1, 1], the 3 X 3 Krawtchouk matrix. Then a(n)=trace((A*A')^n). - Paul Barry, Sep 18 2004
