A113098 Number of 4-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 3) and t_{i+1} <= 4*t_i for 1<i<n.

Equals column 0 of triangle A113097 = A113095^2 (matrix square), where: A113095(n,k) = [A113095^4](n-1,k-1) + [A113095^4](n-1,k).

Example

The tree of 4-tournament sequences of descendents
of a node labeled (2) begins:
[2]; generation 1: 2->[5,8]; generation 2:
5->[8,11,14,17,20], 8->[11,14,17,20,23,26,29,32]; ...
Then a(n) gives the number of nodes in generation n.
Also, a(n+1) = sum of labels of nodes in generation n.
