Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A133926
Number of equivalence classes of compositions of n into parts of size 2 and 3 under the following equivalence relation: We make a "move" by changing three consecutive 2s into two consecutive 3s or vice versa. Two compositions are equivalent if we can reach one from the other by a series of moves.

FORMULA
a(n) = a(n-2) + a(n-3) - a(n-6). - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Oct 12 2013
G.f.: 1/(1-x^2-x^3+x^6). [Joerg Arndt, Oct 12 2013]
EXAMPLE
a(5) = 2 because the two compositions 23 and 32 are inequivalent. a(6) = 1 because the two compositions 222 and 33 are equivalent.
