Transcribed Image Text:Call a string of letters "legal" if it can be produced by concatenating (running together) copies of the
following strings:
'v', 'ww', 'xxx' 'yyy' and 'zzz'.
For example, the string 'xxxvv is legal because it can be produced by concatenating 'xxx', 'u' and '
v, but the string 'xxxxv' is not legal.
For each integer n ≥ 1, let t,, be the number of legal strings with n letters. For example, t₁ = 1 (u is
the only the legal string).
t₂ = 2
t3
