SILK-ROAD 2015 Problem 3

    Let BnB_n be the set of all sequences of length nn , consisting of zeros and ones. For every two sequences a,b∈Bna,b \in B_n (not necessarily different) we define strings ε0ε1ε2…εn\varepsilon_0\varepsilon_1\varepsilon_2 \dots \varepsilon_n and δ0δ1δ2…δn\delta_0\delta_1\delta_2 \dots \delta_n such that ε0=δ0=0\varepsilon_0=\delta_0=0 and εi+1=(δi−ai+1)(δi−bi+1),δi+1=δi+(−1)δiεi+1(0≤i≤n−1).\varepsilon_{i+1}=(\delta_i-a_{i+1})(\delta_i-b_{i+1}), \delta_{i+1}=\delta_i+(-1)^{\delta_i}\varepsilon_{i+1} (0 \leq i \leq n-1). . Let w(a,b)=ε0+ε1+ε2+⋯+εnw(a,b)=\varepsilon_0+\varepsilon_1+\varepsilon_2+\dots +\varepsilon_n . Find f(n)=∑a,b∈Bnw(a,b)f(n)=\sum\limits_{a,b \in {B_n}} {w(a,b)} . .
