FORMULA
|
a(n) = a(n-1)+ 4 a(n-2) + 2 a(n-3); a(n) = (-1)^n +(1/Sqrt(3))*((1+Sqrt(3))^n - (1-Sqrt(3))^n); generating function 1/(1-x-4x^2-2x^3)
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
a(2) = 5 because the 2 X 2 board can be tiled either with 4 squares or with a single L-shaped tile (in four orientations) together with a single square tile.
