COMMENT

This sequence is part of a family of sequences, namely R(n,k), the number of ks in palindromic compositions of n. See also A057711, A001792, A078836, A079861, A079862. General formula: R(n,k)=2^(floor(n/2) - k) * (2 + floor(n/2) - k) if n and k have different parity and R(n,k)=2^(floor(n/2) - k) * (2 + floor(n/2) - k + 2^(floor((k+1)/2 - 1)) otherwise, for n >= 2k.

FORMULA

a(i) = (2+i)*2^(i-8)

EXAMPLE

a(8)=10 since the palindromic compositions of 15 that contain a 7 are 7+1+7, 4+7+4, 1+3+7+3+1, 3+1+7+1+3, 2+2+7+2+2, 1+1+1+1+7+1+1+1+1, 1+1+2+7+2+1+1, 1+2+1+7+1+2+1 and 2+1+1+7+1+1+2, for a total of 10 7s.
