%N A102726 Number of compositions of the integer n into positive parts that avoid
a fixed pattern of three letters.
%C A102726 The sequence is the same no matter which of the six patterns of three
letters is chosen as the one to be avoided.

preprint, 2005.
%H A102726 M. Elder and V. Vatter, <a href="http://arXiv.org/abs/math.CO/0505504">
Problems and conjectures presented at the third international conference
on permutation petterns</a>
%F A102726 G.f.: sum((1/(1-x^i))*prod((1-x^i)/((1-x^(j-i))*(1-x^i-x^j)), j=1..infinity;
j not equal to i), i=1..infinity)
%e A102726 a(6)=31 because there are 32 compositions of 6 into positive parts and
only one of these, namely 6=1+2+3, contains the pattern (123), the
other 31 compositions of 6 avoid that pattern.
