Apart from leading term (which should really be 3/2), same as A055010.

a(n) = number of partitions Pi of [n+1] (in standard increasing form) such that the permutation Flatten[Pi] avoids the patterns 2-1-3 and 3-1-2. Example: a(3)=11 counts all 15 partitions of [4] except 13/24, 13/2/4 which contain a 2-1-3 and 14/23, 14/2/3 which contain a 3-1-2. Here "standard increasing form" means the entries are increasing in each block and the blocks are arranged in increasing order of their first entries. - David Callan, Jul 22 2008

An elephant sequence, see A175654. For the corner squares four A[5] vectors, with decimal values 42, 138, 162, 168, lead to this sequence. For the central square these vectors lead to the companion sequence A003945. - Johannes W. Meijer, Aug 15 2010

The binary representation of a(n) has n+1 digits, where all digits are 1's except digit n-1. For example: a(4) = 23 = 10111 (2). - Omar E. Pol, Dec 02 2012

Row sums of triangle A209561. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Dec 26 2012

If a Stern's sequence based enumeration system of positive irreducible fractions is considered (for example, A007305/A047679, A162909/A162910, A071766/A229742, A245325/A245326, ...), and if it is organized by blocks or levels (n) with 2^n terms (n >= 0), and the fractions, term by term, are summed at each level n, then the resulting sequence of integers is a(n) + 1/2, apart from leading term (which should be 1/2). - Yosu Yurramendi, May 23 2015

For n >= 2, A083329(n) in binary representation is a string [101..1], also 10 followed with (n-1) 1's. For n >= 3, A036563(n) in binary representation is a string [1..101], also (n-2) 1's followed with 01. Thus A083329(n) is a reflection of the binary representation of A036563(n+1). Example: A083329(5) = 101111 in binary, A036563(6) = 111101 in binary. - Ctibor O. Zizka, Nov 06 2018

Formula

a(n) = (3*2^n - 2 + 0^n)/2.

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

E.g.f.: (3*exp(2*x) - 2*exp(x) + exp(0))/2.

a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-2) for n > 2, a(0)=1, a(1)=2, a(2)=5. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 29 2013

From Bob Selcoe, Apr 25 2014: (Start)

a(n) = (...((((((1)+1)*2+1)*2+1)*2+1)*2+1)...), with n+1 1's, n >= 0.

a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 1, n >= 2.

a(n) = 2^n + 2^(n-1) - 1, n >= 2. (End)

a(n) = A086893(n) + A061547(n+1), n > 0. - Yosu Yurramendi, Jan 16 2017

Example

a(0) = (3*2^0 - 2 + 0^0)/2 = 2/2 = 1 (use 0^0=1).
