COMMENTS

Shares some properties with Fibonacci sequence.

The sum of any two alternating terms (terms separated by one other term) produces a Fibonacci number (e.g. 2+6=8, 3+10=13, 24+65=89, etc.) The product of any two consecutive or alternating Fibonacci terms produces a term from this series. (e.g. 5x8=40, 13x5=65, 21x8=168, etc.)

In Penney's game (see A171861), ways that HTH beats HHH on flip 3,4,5,... [Ed Pegg Jr, Dec 02 2010]

The Ca2 sums, see A180662 for the definition of these sums, of triangle A035607 equal the terms of this sequence. [Johannes W. Meijer, Aug 05 2011]

FORMULA

a(n) = F[floor(n/2)+1]*F[ceiling(n/2)+2], with F(n) = A000045(n). - R. Stephan, Apr 14 2004

G.f.: (1+x)/(1-x-x^3-x^4) = (1+x)/((1+x^2)*(1-x-x^2))

a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-3) + a(n-4)

a(n) = A126116(n+4) - F(n+3) [Johannes W. Meijer, Aug 05 2011]
