Hankel transform is := 1,12,0,0,0,... - Philippe Deléham, Nov 02 2008

The compositions of n in which each natural number is colored by one of p different colors are called p-colored compositions of n. For n>=2, 13*a(n-2) equals the number of 13-colored compositions of n with all parts >=2, such that no adjacent parts have the same color. - Milan Janjic, Nov 26 2011

Formula

a(n) = ((4^(n+1))-(-3)^(n+1))/7.

a(n) = a(n-1) + 12*a(n-2), n > 1; a(0)=1, a(1)=1.

From Paul Barry, Jul 30 2004: (Start)

Convolution of 4^n and (-3)^n.

G.f.: 1/((1+3x)(1-4x)); a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n, 4^k*(-3)^(n-k)} = Sum_{k=0..n, (-3)^k*4^(n-k)}. (End)

a(n) = Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n} A109466(n,k)*(-12)^(n-k). - Philippe Deléham, Oct 26 2008

a(n) = (sum_{1<=k<=n+1, k odd} C(n+1,k)*7^(k-1))/2^n. - Vladimir Shevelev, Feb 05 2014
