%C a(n) is the number of possible tilings of a bracelet of "thickness" 1 and length n using single-color squares, single-color dominoes, and two-color k-ominoes with k >= 3. - _Michael Tulskikh_ and _Greg Dresden_, Sep 03 2019; edited by _Greg Dresden_, Feb 18 2020, May 14 2020, May 18 2020

%F Obtained from dynamical zeta function Z(x)=(1-x)/(1-2x-x^3), so that x Z'(x)/Z(x) is the ordinary power series generating function.

%F From _Colin Barker_, Jul 02 2012: (Start)

%F a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-2) + a(n-3) - a(n-4).

%F G.f.: x*(1+3*x^2-2*x^3)/((1-x)*(1-2*x-x^3)). (End)

%F a(n) = n*Sum_{m=1..n} Sum_{i=0..(n-m)/2} binomial(m,i)*binomial(n-2*i-1,m-1)/m. - _Vladimir Kruchinin_, Mar 10 2015

%F a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + a(n-3) + 2. - _Greg Dresden_, Feb 08 2020

%F a(n) = w1^n + w2^n + w3^n - 1, for w1, w2, w3 roots of x^3-2x^2-1=0. - _Greg Dresden_, Feb 18 2020
