FORMULA
|
a(n) = 1/2 * (3^n - 1)^2.
G.f.: -2*x*(3*x+1) / ((x-1)*(3*x-1)*(9*x-1)). [Colin Barker, Dec 23 2012]
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
a(2) = 32 because there are 33 (the second element in sequence A060705) singular 2 X 2 matrices over GF(3), that have rank <= 1 of which only the zero matrix has rank zero so a(2) = 33 - 1 = 32.
