COMMENT

This is just one row of a double sequence a(n,m) for n = 0,1,2, ... and m =0,1,2,... a(n,m) = ((2^(n+m+1))*(sum from r=0 to m of ( 2^(-r) * ( n choose (n-r))* (m choose r)))-1, with 0<= m <= n and a(0,0)=1

FORMULA

a(n) = (2^n)*(n^2 + 7n + 8) -1

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 303. A fuzzy subgroup is simply a chain of subgroups in the lattice of subgroups. Counting the number of chains in the lattice of subgroups of Z_{p^3}+Z_2 gives us a(3)=303. The two papers cited describe the counting process using fuzzy subgroup concept.
