COMMENTS

a(n) gives the length of the word obtained after n steps with the substitution rule 0->1111, 1->11110, starting from 0. The number of 1's and 0's of this word is 4*a(n-1) and 4*a(n-2), respectively.

Inverse binomial transform of odd Pell bisection A001653. With a leading zero, inverse binomial transform of even Pell bisection A001542, divided by 2. - Paul Barry, May 16 2003

For positive n, a(n) equals the permanent of the nXn tridiagonal matrix with 4's along the main diagonal, and 2's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal. [From John M. Campbell, Jul 19 2011]

FORMULA

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

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

a(n)= S(n, 2*i)*(-2*i)^n with S(n, x) := U(n, x/2), Chebyshev's polynomials of the 2nd kind, A049310.

a(n)=Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n}3^k*A063967(n,k) . - Philippe DELEHAM, Nov 03 2006

a(n)=-(1/8)*sqrt(2)*[2-2*sqrt(2)]^(n+1)+(1/8)*[2+2*sqrt(2)]^(n+1)*sqrt(2), [From Paolo P. Lava, Nov 20 2008]

((2+sqrt(8))^(n+1)-(2-sqrt(8))^(n+1))/sqrt(32). [From Al Hakanson (hawkuu(AT)gmail.com), Jan 07 2009]

a(n)=A000129(n+1)*A000079(n). [From R. J. Mathar, Jul 08 2009]

Contribution from Johannes W. Meijer, Aug 01 2010: (Start)

Limit(a(n+k)/a(k), k=infinity) = A084128(n) + 2*A057087(n-1)*sqrt(2)

Limit(A084128(n)/A057087(n-1), n=infinity) = sqrt(2)
