COMMENTS

Half the number of n X 3 binary arrays with a path of adjacent 1's and a path of adjacent 0's from top row to bottom row.

Indices of A017245=9n+7=7,16,25,34, for submitted A153819=16,34,88,. A153819(n)=9a(n)+7=18*F(2n+1)-2;F(n)=Fibonacci=A000045,2's=A007395. Other recurrence: a(n)=4a(n-1)-4a(n-2)+a(n-3). [From Paul Curtz (bpcrtz(AT)free.fr), Jan 02 2009]

FORMULA

a(0) = 1, a(1) = 3, a(2) = 9, a(3) = 25; a(n) = 3 a(n-1) - 3 a(n-3) + a(n-4).

a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - a(n-2) + 1 for n>1, a(1) = 3, a(0) = 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), May 02 2006

a(n)=4*a(n-1)-4*a(n-2)+a(n-3). G.f.: (1-x+x^2)/((1-x)(1-3x+x^2)). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Feb 23 2009]

a(n)= 1+2*sum(fibonacci(2*k),k=0..n) = 1+2*A027941(n).  [From Gary Detlefs (gdetlefs(At)aol.com), Dec 7 2010

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := a[n] = 3 a[n - 1] - 3 a[n - 3] + a[n - 4]; a[0] = 1; a[1] = 3; a[2] = 9; a[3] = 25; Table[ a[n], {n, 0, 27}]
