2*a(n-2) = 6^n - 2*5^n + 4^n is the number of 3 X n {0,1}-matrices such that: (a) first and second row have a common 1, (b) first and third row have a common 1, (c) second and third row have no common 1. - Andi Fugard and Vladeta Jovovic, Jul 26 2008

This is the third column of the Sheffer triangle A143496 (4-restricted Stirling2 numbers). See A193685 for general comments. - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 08 2011

Formula

a(n) = 2^(3 + 2*n) + 2^(1 + n) * 3^(2 + n) - 5^(2 + n). - Andi Fugard, Jul 22 2008

If we define f(m,j,x) = Sum_{k=j..m} binomial(m,k)*Stirling2(k,j)*x^(m-k) then a(n-2) = f(n,2,4), n >= 2. - Milan Janjic, Apr 26 2009

O.g.f.: 1/((1-4*x)*(1-5*x)*(1-6*x)).

E.g.f.: (d^2/dx^2)(exp(4*x)*((exp(x)-1)^2)/2!). See the Sheffer triangle comment above. - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 08 2011

a(n) = 15*a(n-1) - 74*a(n-2) + 120*a(n-3). - Vincenzo Librandi, Jun 24 2013
