COMMENTS

The even neighbor must differ from the odd number by exactly one.

FORMULA

G.f.: (1+2*x)/(1-3*x-2*x^2).

a(n)=3*a(n-1)+2*a(n-2).

This sequence seems to be generated by the floretion - 0.5'i + 0.5j' + 0.25'ii' + 0.25'jj' - 0.75'kk' + 'ij' - 'ji' - 0.5'jk' - 0.5'ki' - 0.75e ("emseq") - Creighton Dement (creighton.k.dement(AT)uni-oldenburg.de), Nov 25 2004

a(n)=(3/2+sqrt(17)/2)^n*(1/2+7*sqrt(17)/34)+(1/2-7*sqrt(17)/34)*(3/2-sqrt(17)/2)^n - Paul Barry, Dec 08 2004

a(n-1) = Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n}2^(n-k)*A122542(n,k), n>=1 . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Oct 08 2006

a(n) = upper left term in the 2 X 2 matrix [1,2; 2,2]^(n+1). Also [a(n), a(n+1)] = the 2 X 2 matrix [0,1; 2,3]^(n+1) * [1,1]. Example: [0,1; 2,3]^4 * [1,1] = [61, 217]. - Gary W. Adamson, Mar 16 2008

Also, for n>=2, a(n)=[1,2;2,2]^(n-1)*[1,2]*[1,2], [From John M. Campbell, Jul 09 2011]
