COMMENTS

The layer sequence is the sequence of the cardinalities of the layers accumulating around a ( finite-sided ) polygon of the tessellation under successive side-reflections; see the illustration accompanying A054888.

Also spherical growth series for modular group.

FORMULA

G.f.: (1+2*x+2*x^2+x^3)/(1-x-x^2) = (x^2+x+1)*(1+x)/(1-x-x^2). a(n)=2*F(n) for n>2, with F(n) the n-th Fibonacci number (cf. A000045 )

MATHEMATICA

Join[{1, 3}, 2Fibonacci[Range[4, 40]]] (* From Harvey P. Dale, Jan 06 2012 *)
