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 (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), 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) = 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 (tauraso(AT)mat.uniroma2.it), May 02 2005; Graeme McRae (g_m(AT)mcraefamily.com), Jun 02 2006

a(n+1)=((-I)^(n-1))*diff(S(n,x),x)|_{x=I}, n>=1. First derivative of Chebyshev S-polynomials evaluated at x=I (imaginary unit) multiplied by (-I)^(n-1). See A049310 for the S-polynomials. W. Lang, Apr 04 2007.

For n>=4, a(n)=number of weak compositions of n-3 in which exactly one part is 0 and all other parts are either 1 or 2. [From Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), 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).
