A113089 Number of 3-tournament sequences: a(n) gives the number of increasing sequences of n positive integers (t_1,t_2,...,t_n) such that t_1 = 2 and t_i = 2 (mod 2) and t_{i+1} <= 3*t_i for 1<i<n.

Column 0 of triangle A113088; A113088 is the matrix square of triangle A113084, which satisfies the matrix recurrence: A113084(n,k) = [A113084^3](n-1,k-1) + [A113084^3](n-1,k). Also equals column 2 of square table A113081.

Example

The tree of 3-tournament sequences of even integer
descendents of a node labeled (2) begins:
[2]; generation 1: 2->[4,6];
generation 2: 4->[6,8,10,12], 6->[8,10,12,14,16,18]; ...
Then a(n) gives the number of nodes in generation n.
Also, a(n+1) = sum of labels of nodes in generation n.
