COMMENTS
a(1) = 1, a(n+1) = denominator of continued fraction [1;2,4,8,...,2^n]. - Amarnath Murthy, May 02 2001
The difference equation y(n, x, s) = q^(n-1)*x*y(n-1, x, s) + s*y(n-2, x, s) yields a type of two variable q-Fibonacci polynomials in the form F(n, x, s, q) = Sum_{j=0..floor((n-1)/2)} q-binomial(n-j-1,j, q^2)*q^binomial(n-2*j,2)* x^(n-2*j)*s^j. When x=s=1 these polynomials reduce to q-Fibonacci numbers. This family of q-Fibonacci numbers is different from that of the q-Fibonacci numbers defined in A015459. - G. C. Greubel, Dec 17 2019
