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.

The asymmetry degree of a finite sequence of numbers is defined to be the number of pairs of symmetrically positioned distinct entries. Example: the asymmetry degree of (2,7,6,4,5,7,3) is 2, counting the pairs (2,3) and (6,5).
Number of entries in row n is 1 + floor(n/4).
Sum of entries in row n is A005251(n+1).
T(n,0) = A000931(n+5) (= number of palindromic compositions of n without 2's).
Sum_{k >= 0} k*T(n,k) = A275443(n).

Examples

			Row 5 is [3,4] because the compositions of 5 without 2's are 5, 113, 131, 311, 14, 41, and 11111, having asymmetry degrees 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, and 0, respectively.

Formula

G.f.: G(t,z) = (1-z^2)/(1-z-z^2+z^4-2*t*z^4). In the more general situation of compositions into a[1]=1} z^(a[j]), we have G(t,z) = (1 + F(z))/(1 - F(z^2) - t*(F(z)^2 - F(z^2))). In particular, for t=0 we obtain Theorem 1.2 of the Hoggatt et al. reference.
