COMMENTS

Values for even indices seem mysterious, but does A091838(2n+1) = A002878(n), the bisection of Lucas sequence?

FORMULA

a(n) < 2^(n-1)

a(n) <= F(n) + F(n-2) - m where F(i) is the i-th Fibonacci number and m=2 if n is in the set {2i | i >= 0} - {2^j, 3x2^j | j >= 0} - Dirk Nowotka (nowotka(AT)utu.fi), May 16 2004

a(n) seems to be asymptotic to phi^n where phi=(1+sqrt(5))/2.
