Clark Kimberling, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000
FORMULA
(row 0, the bottom row): r(n) = 2*r(n-2) + 2*r(n-3), with r(0) = 1, r(1) = 0, r(2) = 1, r(3) = 1;
(row 1, the middle row): r(n) = 2*r(n-2) + 2*r(n-3), with r(0) = 0, r(1) = 2, r(2) = 1, r(3) = 2;
(row 2, the top row): r(n) = 2*r(n-2) + 2*r(n-3), with r(0) = 0, r(1) = 0, r(2) = 1, r(3) = 2.
From Chai Wah Wu, Jan 24 2020: (Start)
a(n) = 2*a(n-6) + 2*a(n-9) for n > 14.
G.f.: (-x^14 - 2*x^11 + x^9 - x^8 - x^7 + x^6 - x^4 - 1)/(2*x^9 + 2*x^6 - 1). (End)
EXAMPLE
First 10 columns:
0 .. 0 .. 1 .. 2 .. 3 .. 6 .. 10 .. 18 .. 32 .. 56
0 .. 1 .. 1 .. 2 .. 4 .. 6 .. 12 .. 20 .. 36 .. 64
1 .. 0 .. 1 .. 1 .. 2 .. 4 .. 6 ... 12 .. 20 .. 36
T(4,1) counts these 4 paths, given as vector sums applied to (0,0):
(1,1) + (1,-1) + (2,1);
(2,1) + (1,-1) + (1,-1);
(2,1) + (1,1) + (1,-1);
(1,1) + (2,1) + (1,-1).
