COMMENTS

For n>=1 a(n) is equal to the number of functions f:{1,2,3,4}->{1,2,...,n,n+1} such that Im(f) contains 2 fixed elements. - Aleksandar M. Janjic and Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Feb 24 2007

Equals binomial transform of [1, 13, 23, 1, -1, 1, -1, 1,...]. - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 22 2008

First bisection of A005918. After 1, all terms are in A000408 (see Formula section). - Bruno Berselli, Feb 07 2012
