Number of elements in all subsets of {1,2,...,n-1} with no consecutive integers. Example: a(5)=10 because the subsets of {1,2,3,4} that have no consecutive elements, i.e., {}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {1,3}, {1,4}, {2,4}, the total number of elements is 10. - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 10 2003
If g is either of the real solutions to x^2-x-1=0, g'=1-g is the other one and phi is any 2 X 2-matricial solution to the same equation, not of the form gI or g'I, then Sum'_{i+j=n-1} g^i phi^j = F_n + (A001629(n) - A001629(n-1)g')*(phi-g'I), where i,j >= 0, F_n is the n-th Fibonacci number and I is the 2 X 2 identity matrix... - Michele Dondi (blazar(AT)lcm.mi.infn.it), Apr 06 2004
Number of 3412-avoiding involutions containing exactly one subsequence of type 321.
Number of binary sequences of length n with exactly one pair of consecutive 1's. - George J. Schaeffer (gschaeff(AT)andrew.cmu.edu), Sep 02 2004
For this sequence the n-th term is given by (nF(n+1)-F(n)+nF(n-1))/5 where F(n) is the n-th Fibonacci number. - Mrs. J. P. Shiwalkar and M. N. Deshpande (dpratap_ngp(AT)sancharnet.in), Apr 20 2005
If an unbiased coin is tossed n times then there are 2^n possible strings of H and T. Out of these, number of strings with exactly one 'HH' is given by a(n) where a(n) denotes n-th term of this sequence. - Mrs. J. P. Shiwalkar and M. N. Deshpande (dpratap_ngp(AT)sancharnet.in), May 04 2005
a(n) is half the number of horizontal dominoes in all domino tilings of a horizontally aligned 2 X n rectangle; a(n+1) = the number of vertical dominoes in all domino tilings of a horizontally aligned 2 X n rectangle; thus 2*a(n)+a(n+1)=n*F(n+1) = the number of dominoes in all domino tilings of a 2 X n rectangle, where F=A000045, the Fibonacci sequence. - Roberto Tauraso, May 02 2005; Graeme McRae, Jun 02 2006
a(n+1) = (-i)^(n-1)*(d/dx)S(n,x)|_{x=i}, where i is the imaginary unit, n >= 1. First derivative of Chebyshev S-polynomials evaluated at x=i multiplied by (-i)^(n-1). See A049310 for the S-polynomials. - Wolfdieter Lang, Apr 04 2007
For n >= 4, a(n) is the number of weak compositions of n-2 in which exactly one part is 0 and all other parts are either 1 or 2. - Milan Janjic, Jun 28 2010
For n greater than 1, a(n) equals the absolute value of (1 - (1/2 - i/2)*(1 + (-1)^(n + 1))) times the x-coefficient of the characteristic polynomial of the (n-1) X (n-1) tridiagonal matrix with i's along the main diagonal (i is the imaginary unit), 1's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal and 0's everywhere else (see Mathematica code below). - John M. Campbell, Jun 23 2011

a(n) is the number of edges in the Fibonacci cube Gamma(n-1) (see the Klavzar 2005 reference, p. 149). Example: a(3)=2; indeed, the Fibonacci cube Gamma(2) is the path P(3) having 2 edges. - Emeric Deutsch, Aug 10 2014
a(n) is the number of c(i)'s, including repetitions, in p(n), where p(n)/q(n) is the n-th convergent p(n)/q(n) of the formal infinite continued fraction [c(0), c(1), ...]; e.g., the number of c(i)'s in p(3) = c(0)*c(1)*c(2)*c(3) + c(0)*c(1) + c(0)*c(3) + c(2)*c(3) + 1 is a(5) = 10. - Clark Kimberling, Dec 23 2015

From Steven Finch, Mar 22 2020: (Start)
a(n+1) is the total binary weight (cf. A000120) of all A000045(n+2) binary sequences of length n not containing any adjacent 1's.
The only three 2-bitstrings without adjacent 1's are 00, 01 and 10. The bitsums of these are 0, 1 and 1. Adding these give a(3)=2.
The only five 3-bitstrings without adjacent 1's are 000, 001, 010, 100 and 101. The bitsums of these are 0, 1, 1, 1 and 2. Adding these give a(4)=5.
The only eight 4-bitstrings without adjacent 1's are 0000, 0001, 0010, 0100, 1000, 0101, 1010 and 1001. The bitsums of these are 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, and 2. Adding these give a(5)=10. (End)
