COMMENTS

Number of compositions of n into parts congruent to {1,2} mod 4. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Mar 10 2005

a(n)/a(n-1) tends to 1.75487766625...; an eigenvalue of the matrix M and a root to the characteristic polynomial. - Gary W. Adamson, May 25 2007

Starting with offset 1 = INVERT transform of (1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0,...). [From Gary W. Adamson, May 04 2009]

FORMULA

G.f.: x/(1-2*x+x^2-x^3). a(n) = Sum_{k=0..[(2n-1)/3]} binomial(n-1-[k/2], k), where [x]=floor(x). - Paul D. Hanna, Oct 22 2004

a(n) = Sum [k=0..n, C(n-k, 2k+1) ].

23*a_n = 3*P_{2n+2} + 7*P_{2n+1} - 2*P_{2n}, where P_n are the Perrin numbers, A001608. - D. E. Knuth, Dec 09 2008

G.f. (z-1)*(1+z**2)/(-1+2*z+z**3-z**2) for the augmented version 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 9, 16, 28, 49, 86, 151,... was given in S. Plouffe's thesis of 1992.

a(n) = a(n-1)+a(n-2)+a(n-4) = a(n-2)+A049853(n-1) = a(n-1)+A005251(n) = sum_{i <= n} (A005251(i)).

a(n) = Sum(binomial(n-k, 2k+1), {k=0...(n-1)/3}) - Richard Ollerton (r.ollerton(AT)uws.edu.au), May 12 2004

M^n*[1,0,0] = [a(n-2), a(n-1), a]; where M = the 3 X 3 matrix [0,1,0; 0,0,1; 1,-1,2]. Example M^5*[1,0,0] = [3,5,9]. - Gary W. Adamson, May 25 2007
