COMMENTS

Leading coefficients in certain rook polynomials (for n>=2; see p. 18 of the Riordan paper). - Emeric Deutsch, Mar 08 2004

A107909(a(n)) = A000225(n) = 2^n - 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, May 28 2005

(1, 3, 7, 14,...) = row sums of triangle A141289. - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 22 2008

a(n) is the number of nonempty subsets of {1,2,...,n} such that the difference of successive elements is at most 2.  See example below.  Generally, the O.g.f. for the number of nonempty subsets of {1,2,...,n} such that the difference of successive elements is <= k is: x/((1-x)*(1-2x+x^(k+1)). Cf.A000217 the case for k=1, A001477 the case for k=0 (counts singleton subsets). - Geoffrey Critzer, Feb 17 2012

-fibonacci(n-2) = p(-1) where p(x) is the unique degree-n polynomial such that p(k) = a(k) for k = 0, 1, ..., n. - Michael Somos, Dec 31 2012

a(n) is the number of bit strings of length n+1 with the pattern 00 and without the pattern 011, see example. [John M. Campbell, Feb 10 2013].

FORMULA

G.f.: x/((1-x-x^2)*(1-x)^2). Convolution of natural numbers n >= 1 with Fibonacci numbers F(k). a(n)=F(n+4)-(3+n) [ Wolfdieter Lang ]

a(n) = a(n-1)+a(n-2)+n = Fib(n+4)-n-3 = a(n-1)+A000071(n+2) = A001891(n)-a(n-1) = n+A001891(n-1) = A065220(n+4)+1 = A000126(n+1)-1. - Henry Bottomley, Jan 03 2003

a(n) = sum(k=0, n, sum(i=0, k, F(i))). - Benoit Cloitre, Jan 26 2003

a(n) = (sqrt(5)/2+1/2)^n*(7*sqrt(5)/10+3/2)+(3/2-7*sqrt(5)/10)*(sqrt(5)/2-1/2)^n*(-1)^n-n-3 - Paul Barry, Mar 26 2003

a(n) = sum(k=0, n, F(k)*(n-k)) - Benoit Cloitre, Jun 07 2004

a(n) - a(n-1) = A101220(1,1,n). - Ross La Haye (rlahaye(AT)new.rr.com), May 31 2006

F(n) + a(n-3) = A133640(n). - Gary W. Adamson, Sep 19 2007

a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} C(n-k+2,k+1), with n>=0. - Paolo P. Lava, Apr 16 2008

a(n) = A077880(-3-n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-3) + 1. - Michael Somos, Dec 31 2012

INVERT transform is A122595. PSUM transform is A014162. PSUMSIGN transform is A129696. BINOMIAL transform of A039834 with 0,1 prepended is this sequence. - Michael Somos, Dec 31 2012

EXAMPLE

a(5) = 26 because there are 31 nonempty subsets of {1,2,3,4,5} but 5 of these have successive elements that differ by 3 or more: {1,4}, {1,5}, {2,5}, {1,2,5}, {1,4,5}. - Geoffrey Critzer, Feb 17 2012

From John M. Campbell, Feb 10 2013: (Start)

There are a(5) = 26 bit strings with the pattern 00 and without the pattern 011 of length 5+1:

000000, 000001, 000010, 000100, 000101,

001000, 001001, 001010, 010000, 010001,

010010, 010100, 100000, 100001, 100010,

100100, 100101, 101000, 101001, 110000,

110001, 110010, 110100, 111000, 111001,

111100.
