A045761 Define polynomials Pn by P0 = 0, P1 = x, P2 = P1 + P0, P3 = P2 * P1, P4 = P3 + P2, etc. alternately adding or multiplying. For even n > 2k, then first k coefficients of Pn remain unchanged and their values are the first k terms of the sequence. 3

FORMULA
a(n) ~ c * d^n / n^(3/2), where d = 2.50297436517909273228379630... and c = 0.34042564735836570861482... . - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 08 2016, updated Aug 27 2016
Conjecture: 1/d = 0.39952466709679946... = A268107. - Jean-François Alcover, Aug 08 2016
EXAMPLE
The sequence of polynomials is 0, x, x, x^2, x^2 + x, x^4 + x^3, x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + x, ..., and after this all the even polynomials end with x^3 + x^2 + x (+ 0), so the first 4 terms of the sequence are these coefficients (in ascending order): 0, 1, 1, 1. - Michael B. Porter, Aug 09 2016
