COMMENTS

Also T(2n+1,n+1), T given by A027935. Also first row of Inverse Stolarsky array.

Number of Schroeder paths of length 2(n+1) having exactly one up step starting at an even height (a Schroeder path is a lattice path starting from (0,0), ending at a point on the x-axis, consisting only of steps U=(1,1) (up steps), D=(1,-1) (down steps) and H=(2,0) (level steps) and never going below the x-axis. Schroeder paths are counted by the large Schroeder numbers (A006318). Example. a(1)=4 because among the six Schroeder paths of length 4 only the paths (U)HD, (U)UDD, H(U)D, (U)DH have exactly one U step that starts at an even height (shown between parentheses). - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 19 2004

Also: smallest number not writeable as the sum of n or fewer Fibonacci numbers. E.g. a(4)=88 because it is the smallest number that needs at least 5 Fibonacci numbers: 88=55+21+8+3+1 - Johan Claes, Apr 19 2005

Except for first term, numbers a(n) that set a new record in the number of Fibonacci numbers needed to sum up to n. Position of records in sequence A007895. - R. Stephan, May 15 2005

Successive extremal petal bends beta(n) = a(n-2). See the Ring Lemma of Rodin and Sullivan in K. Stephenson, Introduction to Circle Packing (Cambridge U. P., 2005), pp. 73-74 and 318-321. - David W. Cantrell (DWCantrell(AT)sigmaxi.net)

a(n+1)= AAB^(n)(1), n>=1, with compositions of Wythoff's complementary A(n):=A000201(n) and B(n)=A001950(n) sequences. See the W. Lang link under A135817 for the Wythoff representation of numbers (with A as 1 and B as 0 and the argument 1 omitted). E.g. 4=`110`, 12=`1100`, 33=`11000`, 88=`110000,..., in Wythoff code. AA(1)=1=a(1) but for uniqueness reason 1=A(1) in Wythoff code.

Start with n. Each n generates a sublist {n-1,n-1,n-2,..,1}. Each element of each sublist also generates a sublist. Addnumbers in all terms. For example, 3->{2,2,1} and both 2->{1,1}, so a(3) = 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 12. - Jon Perry, Sep 01 2012

For n>0: smallest number such that the inner product of Zeckendorf binary representation and its reverse equals n: A216176(a(n)) = n, see also A189920. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 10 2013

FORMULA

a(n) = sum(i=1, n, binomial(n+i, n-i)). - Benoit Cloitre, Oct 15 2002

G.f.: sum(k>=1, x^k/(1-x)^(2k+1)). - Benoit Cloitre, Apr 21 2003

Third diagonal of array defined by T(i, 1)=T(1, j)=1, T(i, j)=Max(T(i-1, j)+T(i-1, j-1); T(i-1, j-1)+T(i, j-1)). - Benoit Cloitre, Aug 05 2003

a(n) = sum(k=1, n, F(2k)), i.e. partial sums of A001906. - Benoit Cloitre, Oct 27 2003

a(n) = sum{k=0..n, U(k, 3/2)} = sum{k=0..n, S(k, 3)}, S(k, 3) = A001906(k+1) - Paul Barry, Nov 14 2003

G.f.: 1/((1-x)*(1-3*x+x^2)) = 1/(1-4*x+4*x^2-x^3).

a(n) = 4*a(n-1)-4*a(n-2)+a(n-3) with n>=2, a(-1)=0, a(0)=1, a(1)=4.

a(n) = 3*a(n-1)-a(n-2)+1 with n>=1, a(-1)=0, a(0)=1.

a(n) = Sum[ F(k)*L(k), {k,1,n} ], where L(k) = Lucas(k) = A000032(k) = F(k-1) + F(k+1). - Alexander Adamchuk, May 18 2007

a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + Sum[a(k), 0<k<n-1] + n. - Jon Perry, Sep 01 2012

EXAMPLE

a(5) = 88 = 2*33 + 12 + 4 + 1 + 5. a(6) = 232 = 2*88 + 33 + 12 + 4 + 1 + 6. - Jon Perry, Sep 01 2012
