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.

A068911 Number of n-step walks (each step +-1 starting from 0) which are never more than 2 or less than -2.

From Johannes W. Meijer, May 29 2010: (Start)
a(n) is the number of ways White can force checkmate in exactly (n+1) moves, n >= 0, ignoring the fifty-move and the triple repetition rules, in the following chess position: White Ka1, Ra8, Bc1, Nb8, pawns a6, a7, b2, c6, d2, f6, g5 and h6; Black Ke8, Nh8, pawns b3, c7, d3, f7, g6 and h7. (After Noam D. Elkies, see link; diagram 5).
Counts all paths of length n, n >= 0, starting at the third node on the path graph P_5, see the Maple program. (End)
From Alec Jones, Feb 25 2016: (Start)
The a(n) are the n-th terms in a "Fibonacci snake" drawn on a rectilinear grid. The n-th term is computed as the sum of the previous terms in cells adjacent to the n-th cell (diagonals included). (This sequence excludes the first term of the snake.)
For example:
1 ... 1 1 ... 1 4 1 4 6 ... 1 4 6 1 4 6 ... and so on.
1 ... 1 2 1 2 ... 1 2 1 2 12 ... 1 2 12 18 (End)
From Gus Wiseman, Oct 06 2023: (Start)
Also the number of subsets of {1..n} containing no two distinct elements summing to n. The a(0) = 1 through a(4) = 12 subsets are:
{} {} {} {} {}
{1} {1} {1} {1}
{2} {2} {2}
{1,2} {3} {3}
{1,3} {4}
{2,3} {1,2}
{1,4}
{2,3}
{2,4}
{3,4}
{1,2,4}
{2,3,4}
For n+1 instead of n we have A038754, complement A167762.
Including twins gives A117855, complement A366131.
The complement is counted by A365544.
For all subsets (not just pairs) we have A365377, complement A365376. (End)

			The a(3) = 6 walks: (0,-1,-2,-1), (0,-1,0,-1), (0,-1,0,1), (0,1,0,-1), (0,1,0,1), (0,1,2,1). - _Gus Wiseman_, Oct 10 2023

Formula

a(n) = A068913(2, n) = 2*A038754(n-1) = 3*a(n-2) = a(n-1)*a(n-2)/a(n-3) starting with a(0)=1, a(1)=2, a(2)=4 and a(3)=6.

From Paul Barry, Feb 17 2004: (Start)
G.f.: (1+x)^2/(1-3x^2).
a(n) = 2*3^((n+1)/2)*((1-(-1)^n)/6 + sqrt(3)*(1+(-1)^n)/9) - (1/3)*0^n.
The sequence 0, 1, 2, 4, ... has a(n) = 2*3^(n/2)*((1+(-1)^n)/6 + sqrt(3)*(1-(-1)^n)/9) - (2/3)*0^n + (1/3)*Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n, k)*k*(-1)^k. (End)
a(n) = 2^((3 + (-1)^n)/2)*3^((2*n - 3 - (-1)^n)/4) - ((1 - (-1)^(2^n)))/6. - Luce ETIENNE, Aug 30 2014
For n > 2, indexing from 0, a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) if n is odd, a(n-1) + a(n-2) + a(n-3) if n is even. - Alec Jones, Feb 25 2016
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) if n is even, a(n-1) + a(n-2) if n is odd. - Vincenzo Librandi, Feb 26 2016

See A225367 for the sequence that counts all base 3 palindromes, including 0 (and thus also the number of n-digit terms in A006072). -- A nonzero palindrome of length L=2k-1 or of length L=2k is determined by the first k digits, which then determine the last k digits by symmetry. Since the first digit cannot be 0, there are 2*3^(k-1) possibilities. - M. F. Hasler, May 05 2013
From Gus Wiseman, Oct 18 2023: (Start)
Also the number of subsets of {1..n} with n not the sum of two subset elements (possibly the same). For example, the a(0) = 1 through a(4) = 6 subsets are:
{} {} {} {} {}
{1} {2} {1} {1}
{2} {3}
{3} {4}
{1,3} {1,4}
{2,3} {3,4}
For subsets with no subset summing to n we have A365377.
Requiring pairs to be distinct gives A068911, complement A365544.
The complement is counted by A366131.
