COMMENT

An unpublished result due to Stephen Suen, David desJardin, and W. Edwin Clark. This the case k = 2, q = 3 of their formula q^((n+1)*k) * (1 - 1/q^(k-1) + (q-1)/q^((n+1)*k)) for the number of ordered k-tuples (f_1, ..., f_k) of polynomials in GF(q)[x] such that deg(f_i) <= n for all i, and gcd((f_1, ..., f_k) = 1

FORMULA

a(n) = 2*3^(2*n+1) + 2

EXAMPLE

a(0) = 8 since there are eight pairs, (0,1), (0,2), (1,0), (1,1), (1,2), (2,0), (2,1), (2,2) of polynomials (f,g) in GF(3)[x] of degree at most 0 such that gcd(f,g) = 1.
