COMMENTS

a(n) is the convolution of F(n) with the sequence (1,0,1,0,1,0,...)

Transform of F(n) under the Riordan array (1/(1-x^2),x). - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Apr 16 2005

FORMULA

a(n)= Sum (F(2i+e),(i=0,1,..,Floor(n/2))), where F(n) are Fibonacci numbers and e=2(n/2 - Floor(n/2)).

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

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

a(2n+1)=F(2n+2), a(2n)=F(2n+1)-1.

a(n-1)=sum{k=0..floor(n/2), binomial(n-k, k-1)} - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jul 07 2004

a(n)=sum{k=0..floor((n-1)/2), F(n-2k)}; - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Apr 16 2005

a(n)=sum{k=0..n, F(k)*(1-(-1)^floor((n+k-1)/2))}; - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Apr 16 2005

a(n) =fibonacci(n-1)+a(n-2), a(2)=1. - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Mar 17 2008
