COMMENT

a(n) is also the number of binary sequences of length n-1 in which the longest run of 0's is exactly 4. Example: a(7)=5 because there are 5 binary sequences of length 6 in which the longest run of 0's is exactly 4. 000010,000011,010000,110000,100001. - Geoffrey Critzer (critzer.geoffrey(AT)usd443.org), Nov 07 2008
