FORMULA

G.f.: x*(1-x)/(1-x-x^2-x^3).

Limit a(n)/a(n-1)=x where x^3=1+x+x^2, x=1.839286755.... Let T(n)=A000073=0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 4, 7, 13... x^0=1 and for n>0 x^n=T(n-1)+a(n)*x+T(n)*x^2.

a(3*n) = Sum_{k+l+m=n} (n!/k!l!m!)*a(l+2*m). Example: a(12)=a(8)+4a(7)+10a(6)+16a(5)+19a(4)+16a(3)+10a(2)+4a(1)+a(0) The coefficients are the trinomial coefficients. T(n) and T(n-1) also satisfy this equation. (T(-1)=1)

a(n)=A000073(n+1)-A000073(n); a(n)=A000073(n-1)+A000073(n-2) for n>1; A000213(n-2)=a(n+1)-a(n) for n>1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, May 22 2006

a(n)+a(n+1)=A000213(n) . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Sep 25 2006

If p[1]=0, p[i]=2, (i>1), and if A is Hessenberg matrix of order n defined by: A[i,j]=p[j-i+1], (i<=j), A[i,j]=-1, (i=j+1), and A[i,j]=0 otherwise. Then, for n>=1, a(n+1)=det A. [From Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), May 02 2010]

EXAMPLE

a(12)=a(11)+a(10)+a(9): 230=125+68+37
