COMMENTS
For n > 1, a(n-1) + A101551(n-1) + A102516(n-2) = F(n) where F(n) is the n-th Fibonacci number (A000045(n)). This sequence, A101551 and A102516 can be viewed as parts of a three-term linear recurrence defined as b(0) = b(1) = (1,0,0) = (x(0),y(0),z(0)) = (x(1),y(1),z(1)); b(n+1) = (x(n)+y(n-1),y(n)+z(n-1),z(n)+x(n-1)); which gives a(n) = x(n), A101551(n) = y(n), A102516(n) = z(n+1). - Gerald McGarvey, Apr 26 2005
