FORMULA

Generating function: 1/(1-x)+ x/((1-x)^2 (1-x^2)(1-x^3)(1-x^5)(1-x^7)(1-x^11)...) where the product is over all primes.

EXAMPLE

The products of two matrices in A are r.r, r.b, b.r and b.b, that is

{{1, 2}, {0, 1}}, {{2, 0}, {1, 0}}, {{1, 1}, {1, 1}}, {{1, 0}, {1, 0}}.

Of these, the last one, b.b is an element of length one, since it is equal to b. The remainder are elements of length two, hence a(2)=3.
