Binomial transform of A063727, and second binomial transform of (1,1,5,5,25,25,...), which is A074872 with offset 0. - Paul Barry, Jul 16 2003
Equals INVERT transform of A104934: (1, 2, 8, 28, 100, 356, ...) and INVERTi transform of A005054: (1, 4, 20, 100, 500, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 22 2010
a(n) is the number of compositions of n when there are 3 types of 1 and 4 types of other natural numbers. - Milan Janjic, Aug 13 2010
F(3*n+1) = 3^n*a(n;2/3), where a(n;d), n = 0, 1, ..., d, denote the delta-Fibonacci numbers defined in comments to A000045 (see also the papers by Witula et al.). - Roman Witula, Jul 12 2012
We note that the remark above by Paul Barry can be easily obtained from the following scaling identity for delta-Fibonacci numbers y^n a(n;x/y) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) (y-1)^(n-k) a(k;x) and the fact that a(n;2)=5^floor(n/2). Indeed, for x=y=2 we get 2^n a(n;1) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) a(k;2) and, by A000045: Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) 2^k a(k;1) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) F(k+1) 2^k = 3^n a(n;2/3) = F(3n+1). - Roman Witula, Jul 12 2012
Except for the first term, this sequence can be generated by Corollary 1 (iv) of Azarian's paper in the references for this sequence. - Mohammad K. Azarian, Jul 02 2015
Number of 1’s in the substitution system {0 -> 110, 1 -> 11100} at step n from initial string "1" (1 -> 11100 -> 111001110011100110110 -> ...). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Apr 10 2017
The o.g.f. of {F(m*n + 1)}_{n>=0}, for m = 1, 2, ..., is G(m,x) = (1 - F(m-1)*x) / (1 - L(m)*x + (-1)^m*x^2), with F = A000045 and L = A000032. - Wolfdieter Lang, Feb 06 2023

FORMULA
a(n) = 2*A049651(n) + 1.
a(n) = 4*a(n-1) + a(n-2) for n>1, a(0)=1, a(1)=3;
G.f.: (1 - x)/(1 - 4*x - x^2).
a(n) = ((1 + sqrt(5))*(2 + sqrt(5))^n - (1 - sqrt(5))*(2 - sqrt(5))^n)/(2*sqrt(5)).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} Sum_{j=0..n-k} C(n,j)*C(n-j,k)*F(n-j+1). - Paul Barry, May 19 2006
First differences of A001076. - Al Hakanson (hawkuu(AT)gmail.com), May 02 2009
a(n) = A167808(3*n+1). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Nov 12 2009
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} C(n,k)*F(n+k+1). - Paul Barry, Apr 19 2010
Let p[1]=3, p[i]=4, (i>1), and A be a Hessenberg matrix of order n defined by: A[i,j] = p[j-i+1] (i <= j), A[i,j]=-1 (i = j+1), and A[i,j] = 0 otherwise. Then, for n >= 1, a(n) = det A. - Milan Janjic, Apr 29 2010
a(n) = Sum_{i=0..n} C(n,n-i)*A063727(i). - Seiichi Kirikami, Mar 06 2012
a(n) = F(2*n)*L(n+1) + F(n-1)*(-1)^n for n > 0. - J. M. Bergot, Feb 09 2016
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k)*5^floor(k/2)*2^(n-k). - Tony Foster III, Sep 03 2017
2*a(n) = Fibonacci(3*n) + Lucas(3*n). - Bruno Berselli, Oct 13 2017
a(n)^2 is the denominator of continued fraction [4,...,4, 2, 4,...,4], which has n 4's before, and n 4's after, the middle 2. - Greg Dresden and Hexuan Wang, Aug 30 2021
a(n) = i^n*(S(n, -4*i) + i*S(n-1, -4*i)), with i = sqrt(-1), and the Chebyshev S-polynomials (see A049310) with S(n, -1) = 0. From the simplified trisection formula. See the first entry above with A001076. - Gary Detlefs and Wolfdieter Lang, Mar 06 2023
E.g.f.: exp(2*x)*(5*cosh(sqrt(5)*x) + sqrt(5)*sinh(sqrt(5)*x))/5. - Stefano Spezia, May 24 2024
