COMMENT

a(n) is the number of binary sequences of length n having at least two 0's and at least two 1's. [From Geoffrey Critzer (critzer.geoffrey(AT)usd443.org), Feb 11 2009]

FORMULA

E.g.f.: exp(x)^2-2*exp(x)-2*x*exp(x)+1+2*x+x^2

Recurrence: {a(1)=0, (2*n+2)*a(n)+(-1-3*n)*a(n+1)+a(n+2)*n, a(2)=1/4*_C[0], a(3)=_C[0], a(4)=11/4*_C[0]+6}

For n>2, a(n) = 2^n - 2n - 2 = A005803(n) - 2 = A070313(n) - 1 = A071099(n) - A071099(n+1) + 1. - Ralf Stephan (ralf(AT)ark.in-berlin.de), Jan 11 2004

EXAMPLE

a(4)=6 because there are six binary sequences of length four that have two or more 0's and two or more 1's: 0011,0101,0110,1100,1010,1001. [From Geoffrey Critzer (critzer.geoffrey(AT)usd443.org), Feb 11 2009]

MAPLE

Pairs spec := [S, {S=Prod(B, B), B=Set(Z, 2 <= card)}, labeled]: seq(combstruct[count](spec, size=n), n=0..20);

MATHEMATICA

lst={}; s=-1; Do[s+=s+n; AppendTo[lst, s], {n, 0, 5!, 2}]; lst [From Vladimir Orlovsky (4vladimir(AT)gmail.com), Oct 18 2008]
