COMMENTS

This is the sequence A(0,1;1,1;2)of the family of sequences [a,b:c,d:k] considered by G. Detlefs, and treated as A(a,b;c,d;k) in the W. Lang link given below. [From Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 17 2010]

Contribution from Gary W. Adamson, Nov 02 2010: (Start)

For subsets of (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13,...) Fibonacci Maximal terms (Cf. A181631)

equals the number of leading 1's per subset. For example, (7-11) in Fibonacci

Maximal = (1010, 1011, 1101, 1110, 1111), numbers of leading 1's =

(1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4) = 11 = a(4) = row 4 of triangle A181631. (End)

As in the reference arXiv.org/abs/0910.4432 we use two types of Fibonacci trees:- Ta: Fibonacci analog of binomial trees; Tb: Binary Fibonacci trees. Let D(r(k)) be the sum over all distances of the form d(r,x), across all vertices x of the tree rooted at r of order k. Ignoring r, but overloading, let D(a(k)) and D(b(k)) be the distance sums for the Fibonacci trees Ta and Tb respectively of the order k. Using the sum-of-product form in the eqs.(18) and (21) in the said reference it follows that  F(k+4)-2 = D(a(k+1))-D(b(k-1)). [Kailasam Viswanathan Iyer and P. Venkata Subba Reddy, Apr 30 2011.]
