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 = 3 and t_i = 3 (mod 3) and t_{i+1} <= 4*t_i for 1<i<n.

%C Column 0 of triangle A113099; A113099 is the matrix cube of triangle A113095, which satisfies the matrix recurrence: A113095(n,k) = [A113095^4](n-1,k-1) + [A113095^4](n-1,k). Also equals column 3 of square table A113092.

%e The tree of 4-tournament sequences of descendents of a node labeled (3) begins:

%e [3]; generation 1: 3->[6,9,12]; generation 2:

%e 6->[9,12,15,18,21,24], 9->[12,15,18,21,24,27,30,33,36],

%e 12->[15,18,21,24,27,30,33,36,39,42,45,48]; ...

%e Then a(n) gives the number of nodes in generation n.

%e Also, a(n+1) = sum of labels of nodes in generation n.
