cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A079862 a(i) = the number of occurrences of 9's in the palindromic compositions of n=2*i-1 = the number of occurrences of 10's in the palindromic compositions of n=2*i.

Comments

This sequence is part of a family of sequences, namely R(n,k), the number of ks in palindromic compositions of n. See also A057711, A001792, A078836, A079861, A079862. General formula: R(n,k)=2^(floor(n/2) - k) * (2 + floor(n/2) - k) if n and k have different parity and R(n,k)=2^(floor(n/2) - k) * (2 + floor(n/2) - k + 2^(floor((k+1)/2 - 1)) otherwise, for n >= 2k.

Examples

			a(10) = 18 since the palindromic compositions of 19 that contain a 9 are 9+1+9 and the 16 compositions of the form c+9+(reverse of c), where c represents a composition of 5.

Formula

a(n) = (n+8)*2^(n-10).
From Colin Barker, Sep 29 2015: (Start)
a(n) = 2*A159697(n-10).
a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 4*a(n-2) for n>11.
G.f.: -2*x^10*(17*x-9) / (2*x-1)^2.
