FORMULA

For n >= 1, a(n) = 2^(n-1)*Fibonacci(n+3). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Oct 25 2003

G.f. (1 + x)/(1 - 2x - 4x^2). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Feb 06 2010]

Equals INVERT transform of A006138 and INVERTi transform of A179606. - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Aug 14 2010

a(n)=(1/2)*(1+sqrt(5))^n+(1/5)*(1+sqrt(5))^n*sqrt(5)-(1/5)*sqrt(5)*(1-sqrt(5))^n+1/2*(1 -sqrt(5))^n [From Alexander R. Povolotsky (pevnev(AT)juno.com), Aug 15 2010]

G.f.: -x*(3+4*x)/(-1+2*x+4*x^2). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Feb 06 2010]

a(n) = f(n) + f(n-1), where f() = A063727.

EXAMPLE

As the INVERT transform of A006138, (1, 2, 5, 11, 26, 59,...); a(4) = 104 = (26, 11, 5, 2, 1) dot (1, 1, 3, 10, 32) = (26 + 11 + 15 + 20 + 32).

MAPLE

a := proc(n) option remember: if n=0 then RETURN(1) fi: if n=1 then RETURN(2) fi: 2*a(n-1) + 4*a(n-2); end: for n from 1 to 50 do printf(`%d, `, a(n)+a(n-1)) od:
