The name "tribonacci number" is less well-defined than "Fibonacci number". The sequence A000073 (which begins 0, 0, 1) is probably the most important version, but the name has also been applied to A000213, A001590, and A081172. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jul 25 2024
Also (for n > 1) number of ordered trees with n+1 edges and having all leaves at level three. Example: a(4)=2 because we have two ordered trees with 5 edges and having all leaves at level three: (i) one edge emanating from the root, at the end of which two paths of length two are hanging and (ii) one path of length two emanating from the root, at the end of which three edges are hanging. - Emeric Deutsch, Jan 03 2004
a(n) is the number of compositions of n-2 with no part greater than 3. Example: a(5)=4 because we have 1+1+1 = 1+2 = 2+1 = 3. - Emeric Deutsch, Mar 10 2004
Let A denote the 3 X 3 matrix [0,0,1;1,1,1;0,1,0]. a(n) corresponds to both the (1,2) and (3,1) entries in A^n. - Paul Barry, Oct 15 2004
Number of permutations satisfying -k <= p(i)-i <= r, i=1..n-2, with k=1, r=2. - Vladimir Baltic, Jan 17 2005
Number of binary sequences of length n-3 that have no three consecutive 0's. Example: a(7)=13 because among the 16 binary sequences of length 4 only 0000, 0001 and 1000 have 3 consecutive 0's. - Emeric Deutsch, Apr 27 2006
Therefore, the complementary sequence to A050231 (n coin tosses with a run of three heads). a(n) = 2^(n-3) - A050231(n-3) - Toby Gottfried, Nov 21 2010
Convolved with the Padovan sequence = row sums of triangle A153462. - Gary W. Adamson, Dec 27 2008
For n > 1: row sums of the triangle in A157897. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 25 2009
a(n+2) is the top left entry of the n-th power of any of the 3 X 3 matrices [1, 1, 1; 0, 0, 1; 1, 0, 0] or [1, 1, 0; 1, 0, 1; 1, 0, 0] or [1, 1, 1; 1, 0, 0; 0, 1, 0] or [1, 0, 1; 1, 0, 0; 1, 1, 0]. - R. J. Mathar, Feb 03 2014
a(n-1) is the top left entry of the n-th power of any of the 3 X 3 matrices [0, 0, 1; 1, 1, 1; 0, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0; 0, 1, 1; 1, 1, 0], [0, 0, 1; 1, 0, 1; 0, 1, 1] or [0, 1, 0; 0, 0, 1; 1, 1, 1]. - R. J. Mathar, Feb 03 2014
Also row sums of A082601 and of A082870. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 13 2014
Least significant bits are given in A021913 (a(n) mod 2 = A021913(n)). - Andres Cicuttin, Apr 04 2016
The nonnegative powers of the tribonacci constant t = A058265 are t^n = a(n)*t^2 + (a(n-1) + a(n-2))*t + a(n-1)*1, for n >= 0, with a(-1) = 1 and a(-2) = -1. This follows from the recurrences derived from t^3 = t^2 + t + 1. See the example in A058265 for the first nonnegative powers. For the negative powers see A319200. - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 23 2018
The term "tribonacci number" was coined by Mark Feinberg (1963), a 14-year-old student in the 9th grade of the Susquehanna Township Junior High School in Pennsylvania. He died in 1967 in a motorcycle accident. - Amiram Eldar, Apr 16 2021
Andrews, Just, and Simay (2021, 2022) remark that it has been suggested that this sequence is mentioned in Charles Darwin's Origin of Species as bearing the same relation to elephant populations as the Fibonacci numbers do to rabbit populations. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jul 12 2022

A120987 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of ternary words of length n with k strictly increasing runs (0 <= k <= n; for example, the ternary word 2|01|12|02|1|1|012|2 has 8 strictly increasing runs).

Sum of entries in row n is 3^n (A000244).
Sum of entries in column k is A099464(k+1) (a trisection of the tribonacci numbers).
Row n contains 1 + floor(2n/3) nonzero terms.
T(n,n) = (n+1)*(n+2)/2 (the triangular numbers (A000217)).
Sum_{k=0..n} k*T(n,k) = (2n+1)*3^(n-1) = 3*A081038(n-1) for n >= 1.
T(n,k) = A120987(n,n-k).

Examples

			T(5,2) = 6 because we have 012|01, 012|02, 012|12, 01|012, 02|012 and 12|012 (the runs are separated by |).

Formula

T(n,k) = trinomial(n+1,3n-3k+2) = trinomial(n+1,3k-n) (conjecture).
G.f.: 1/(1-3tz-3t(1-t)z^2-t(1-t)^2*z^3).
Can anyone prove the conjecture (either from the g.f. or combinatorially from the definition)?
From Giuliano Cabrele, Mar 02 2008: (Start)
The conjecture is compatible with the g.f., which can be rewritten as (1-t)/(1-t(1+(1-t)z)^3) and expanded to give T(n,k) = Sum_{j=0..k} (-1)^(k-j)*C(3j, n)*C(n+1, k-j) = Sum_{j=0..k} (-1)^j*C(n+1,j)*C(3k-3j,n) = trinomial(n+1,3k-n) = A027907(n+1,3k-n).
Also (1-t)/(1-t(1+(1-t)z)^2) equals the g.f. for the case of binary words, A119900, where Sum_{j=0..k} (-1)^(k-j)*C(2j,n)*C(n+1,k-j) = C(n+1,2k-n). Changing the exponent to 1 gives 1/(1-zt), the g.f. for the case of unary words, the expansion coefficients of which can be written as Kronecker delta(k-n)^(n+1) = Sum_{j=0..k} (-1)^(k-j)*C(j, n)*C(n+1,k-j).
So the conjecture shifts to that the g.f. is (1-t)/(1-t(1+(1-t)z)^m) and coefficients T(m,n,k) = Sum_{j=0..k} (-1)^(k-j)*C(mj,n)*C(n+1, k-j) may apply to the general case of m-ary words. (End)
Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k) *(-1)^(n-k) = A157241(n+1). - Philippe Deléham, Oct 25 2011
The generalized conjecture above can in fact be proved, as described in the file "Words Partitioned according to Number of Strictly Increasing Runs" linked above. - Giuliano Cabrele, Dec 11 2015

Old definition was "Constant term in the reduction of (x^2+x+1)^n by x^3 -> x^2+x+1." For discussions of polynomial reduction, see A192232 and A192744.
From Bob Selcoe, Jun 10 2014: (Start)
a(n) is the trinomial transform of tribonacci numbers. (i.e., A027907(n) transform of A000073(n+2)).
Let the m-nacci numbers be denoted by M"(n). Examples: Fibonacci numbers are 2"(n); tribonacci numbers are 3"(n); 137-nacci numbers are 137"(n). Then the m-nomial transform of M" is M"(m*n), where M"(0)=1 and M"(n)=0 when n<0. Therefore a(n) = 3"(3n). (End)

Examples

			G.f. = 1 + x + 4*x^2 + 24*x^3 + 149*x^4 + 927*x^5 + 5768*x^6 + ...
