Some Notes on Pairs in Binary Strings
  Seth (Mathematics Stack Exchange, http://math.stackexchange.com/q/1812699) posed a problem that is equivalent to the following: how many binary strings of length n have exactly k pairs of consecutive 0s and exactly m pairs of consecutive 1s, where the first and last bits are considered as being consecutive? In this paper, we provide a closed form solution which also solves a related problem with some interesting connections to other combinatorial sequences.
