COMMENTS

a(n) = A164874(n+2,2); subsequence of A030130. [From Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Aug 29 2009]

Let A be the Hessenberg matrix of order n, defined by: A[1,j]=1, A[i,i]:=-3, A[i,i-1]=-1, and A[i,j]=0 otherwise. Then, for n>=1, a(n-1)=(-1)^n*charpoly(A,-5). [From Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Jan 27 2010]

[a(n-1)]^2+a(n) = (7*2^(n-1))^2 are perfect squares. [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Aug 08 2010]

LINKS

FORMULA

a(n+1) = 2*a(n) + 1.

G.f.: (6-5*x)/((1-x)*(1-2*x)) [From Jaume Oliver Lafont (joliverlafont(AT)gmail.com), Sep 14 2009]
