Convolution of Fibonacci sequence with sequence (1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, ...).
There is an interesting relation between a(n) and the Fibonacci sequence f(n). Sqrt(a(4n-2)) = f(2n). By using this fact we can calculate the value of a(n) by the following (1),(2),(3),(4) and (5). (1) a(1) = 1. (2) If n = 2 (mod 4), then a(n) = f((n+2)/2)^2. (3) If n = 3 (mod 4), then a(n) = (f((n+5)/2)^2-2f((n+1)/2)^2-1)/3. (4) If n = 0 (mod 4), then a(n) = (f((n+4)/2)^2+f(n/2)^2-1)/3. (5) If n = 1 (mod 4), then a(n) = (2f((n+3)/2)^2-f((n-1)/2)^2+1)/3. - Hiroshi Matsui and Ryohei Miyadera, Aug 08 2006
Sequences of the form s(0)=a, s(1)=b, s(n) = s(n-1) + s(n-2) + k if n mod m = p, else s(n) = s(n-1) + s(n-2) will have a form fib(n-1)*a + fib(n)*b + P(x)*k. a(n) is the P(x) sequence for m=4...s(n) = fib(n)*a + fib(n-1)*b + a(n-4-p)*k. - Gary Detlefs, Dec 05 2010
A different formula for a(n) as a function of the Fibonacci numbers f(n) may be conjectured. The pattern is of the form a(n) = f(p)*f(p-q) - 1 if n mod 4 = 3, else f(p)*f(p-q) where p = 2,2,4,4,4,4,6,6,6,6,8,8,8,8... and q = 0,1,3,2,0,1,3,2,0,1,3,2... p(n) = 2 * A002265(n+4) = 2*(floor((n+3)/2) - floor((n+3)/4)) (see comment by Jonathan Vos Post at A002265). A general formula for sequences having period 4 with terms a,b,c,d is given in A121262 (the discrete Fourier transform, as for all periodic sequences) and is a function of t(n)= 1/4*(2*cos(n*Pi/2) + 1 + (-1)^n). r4(a,b,c,d,n) = a*t(n+3) + b*t(n+2) + c*t(n+1) + d*t(n). This same formula may be used to subtract the 1 at n mod 4 = 3. a(n) = f(p(n))*f(p(n) - r4(1,0,3,2,n)) - r4(0,0,1,0,n). - Gary Detlefs, Dec 09 2010
This sequence is the sequence B4,1 on p. 34 of "Pascal-like triangles and Fibonacci-like sequences" in the references. In this article the authors treat more general sequences that have this sequence as an example. - Hiroshi Matsui and Ryohei Miyadera, Apr 11 2014
It is easy to see that a(n) = a(n-4) + f(n), where f(n) is the Fibonacci sequence. By using this repeatedly we have for a natural number m
a(4m) =a(4) + f(4m) + f(4m-4) + ... + f(8),
a(4m+1) = a(1) + f(4m) + f(4m-4) + ... + f(5),
a(4m+2) = a(2) + f(4m) + f(4m-4) + ... + f(6) and
a(4m+3) = a(3) + f(4m) + f(4m-4) + ... + f(7).

a(n-1) counts partially ordered partitions of (n-1) into (1,2,3,4) where the position (order) of 2's is unimportant. E.g., a(5)=6 (n-1)=4 These are (4),(31),(13),(22),(211,121,112=one),(1111). - David Neil McGrath, May 12 2015

FORMULA
G.f.: x/((1-x^4)(1 - x - x^2)) = x/(1 - x - x^2 - x^4 + x^5 + x^6).
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + a(n-4) - a(n-5) - a(n-6).
a(n) = Sum_{j=0..floor(n/2)} Sum_{k=0..floor((n-j)/2)} binomial(n-j-2k, j-2k} for n>=0.
Another recurrence is given in the Maple code.
If n mod 4 = 1 then a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + 1, else a(n)= a(n-1) + a(n-2). - Gary Detlefs, Dec 05 2010
a(4n) = A058038(n) = Fibonacci(2n+2)*Fibonacci(2n).
a(4n+1) = A081016(n) = Fibonacci(2n+2)*Fibonacci(2n+1).
a(4n+2) = A049682(n+1) = Fibonacci(2n+2)^2.
a(4n+3) = A081018(n+1) = Fibonacci(2n+2)*Fibonacci(2n+3).
a(n) = 8*a(n-4) - 8*a(n-8) + a(n-12), n>12. - Gary Detlefs, Dec 10 2010
a(n+1) = a(n) + a(n-1) + A011765(n+1). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jan 06 2012
