COMMENTS

a(n) gives the length of the word obtained after n steps with the substitution rule 0->1^8, 1->(1^8)0, starting from 0. The number of 1's and 0's of this word is 8*a(n-1) and 8*a(n-2), resp.

FORMULA

a(n) = 8*(a(n-1)+a(n-2)), a(-1)=0, a(0)=1.

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

G.f.: 1/(1-8*x-8*x^2).

a(n)=Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n}7^k*A063967(n,k) . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 03 2006

a(n)=-(1/6)*sqrt(6)*[4-2*sqrt(6)]^n+(1/2)*[4+2*sqrt(6)]^n+(1/6)*[4+2*sqrt(6)]^n*sqrt(6)+(1/2) *[4-2*sqrt(6)]^n, with n>=0 - Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Jul 08 2008
