COMMENT

Also, number of sequences composed of 1's and 2's summing to n which does not contain "...22...11..." where "..." is any (potentially empty) string. So for example, a[7] = 19 because there are 21 sequences without the restriction, but we must exclude 12211 and 22111. The bijection is to interchange "3" with "21." Also, satisfies the recursion a(n)=a(n-1)+a(n-2)+a(n-3)-a(n-4)-a(n-5)-a(n-6). - Joel Lewis (jblewis(AT)fas.harvard.edu), Nov 06 2006

FORMULA

Sum( binomial(n-b-2c, c), (b = 0..floor[(n -3c)/2]), (c = 0..floor[n/3]) )

G.f.: A(x) = (1 - x^3) / ((1 - x - x^3)(1 - x^2 - x^3)) = (1 - x^3) / (1 - x - x^2 - x^3 + x^4 + x^5 + x^6)

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 5 because we can write 4 = 1+1+1+1 = 1+1+2 = 2+2 = 1+3 = 3+1

MATHEMATICA

Sum[Sum[Binomial[n-b-2c, c], {b, 0, Floor[(n-3c)/2]}], {c, 0, Floor[n/3]}]
