Comments

Equals column 4 of square table A093729. Also equals column 0 of the matrix 4th power of triangle A097710, which satisfies the matrix recurrence: A097710(n,k) = [A097710^2](n-1,k-1) + [A097710^2](n-1,k) for n>k>=0.

Examples

			The tree of tournament sequences of descendents of a node labeled (4) begins:
[4]; generation 1: 4->[5,6,7,8]; generation 2: 5->[6,7,8,9,10],
6->[7,8,9,10,11,12], 7->[8,9,10,11,12,13,14],
8->[9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16]; ...
Then a(n) gives the number of nodes in generation n.
Also, a(n+1) = sum of labels of nodes in generation n.
