COMMENTS

Also gives the number of points of period n in the subshift of finite type corresponding to the square matrix A=[1,2;1,0] (this is then given by trace(A^n)). - Thomas Ward (t.ward(AT)uea.ac.uk), Mar 07 2001

Sequence is identical to its signed inverse binomial transform. - Paul Curtz (bpcrtz(AT)free.fr), Jul 11 2008

a(n) can be expressed in terms of values of the Fibonacci polynomials F_n(x), computed at x=1/sqrt(2). [From Tewodros Amdeberhan (tewodros(AT)math.mit.edu), Dec 15 2008]

FORMULA

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

a(n) = 2^n + (-1)^n. G.f.: (2-x)/(1-x-2*x^2). - Len Smiley (smiley(AT)math.uaa.alaska.edu), Dec 07 2001

E.g.f.: exp(x)+exp(-2x) produces a signed version. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Apr 27 2003

a(n+1)=Sum{k=0..floor(n/2), binomial(n-1, 2k)3^(2k)/2^(n-2)}. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Feb 21 2003

0, 1, 5, 7 ... is 2^n-2*0^n+(-1)^n, the 2nd inverse binomial transform of (2^n-1)^2 (A060867) - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Sep 05 2003

a(n)=2T(n, i/(2sqrt(2)))(-i*sqrt(2))^n with i^2=-1 - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Nov 17 2003

a(n)=(A078008(n)+A001045(n+1)) - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Feb 12 2004

a(n)=2*A001045(n+1)-A001045(n) - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Mar 22 2004

a(0)=2, a(1)=1, a(n)=a(n-1)+2*a(n-2) for n>1 . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 07 2006

a(2n+1)=Product(d divides 2n+1, cyclotomic(d,2)). a(2^k*(2n+1))=Product(d divides 2n+1,cyclotomic(2d,2^(2^k))) - Miklos Kristof (kristmikl(AT)freemail.hu), Mar 12 2007

a(n)=2^{(n-1)/2}F_{n-1}(1/sqrt(2))+2^{(n+2)/2}F_{n-2}(1/sqrt(2)). [From Tewodros Amdeberhan (tewodros(AT)math.mit.edu), Dec 15 2008]

MATHEMATICA
