Same as Pisot sequences E(1, 30), L(1, 30), P(1, 30), T(1, 30). Essentially same as Pisot sequences E(30, 900), L(30, 900), P(30, 900), T(30, 900). See A008776 for definitions of Pisot sequences.

The compositions of n in which each natural number is colored by one of p different colors are called p-colored compositions of n. For n >= 1, a(n) equals the number of 30-colored compositions of n such that no adjacent parts have the same color. - Milan Janjic, Nov 17 2011

Formula

G.f.: 1/(1-30*x). - Philippe Deléham, Nov 24 2008

a(n) = 30^n; a(n) = 30*a(n-1), n > 0; a(0)=1. - Vincenzo Librandi, Nov 21 2010

E.g.f.: exp(30*x).

a(n) = A000244(n)*A011557(n) = A159991(n)/A000079(n). (End)
