A209400 Number of subsets of {1,...,n} containing a subset of the form {k,k+1,k+3} for some k. 4

%N Number of subsets of {1,...,n} containing a subset of the form {k,k+1,k+3} for some k.

%C Also, number of subsets of {1,...,n} containing {a,a+2,a+3} for some a.

%C Also, number of bitstrings of length n containing 1101 or 1111.

%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_06">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (3,-1,-2,1,-1,-2).

%F a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - a(n-2) - 2*a(n-3) + a(n-4) - a(n-5) - 2*a(n-6), a(4)=2, a(5)=7, a(i)=0 for i<4.

%F G.f.: x^4*(2 + x)/(1 - 3*x + x^2 + 2*x^3 - x^4 + x^5 + 2*x^6) = x^4*(2 + x)/((1 - 2*x)*(1 - x - x^2 - x^4 - x^5)).

%F a(n) = 2^n - A164387(n).

%e When n=4 the only subsets containing an {a,a+1,a+3} happen when a=1 with the two subsets {1,2,3,4} and {1,2,4}. Thus a(4)=2.
