COMMENTS

Consider a simple cellular automaton, a grid of binary cells c(i,j), where the next state of the grid is calculated by applying the following rule to each cell: c(i,j) = ( c(i+1,j-1) + c(i+1,j+1) + c(i-1,j-1) + c(i-1,j+1) ) mod 2 If we start with a single cell having the value 1 and all the others 0, then the aggregate values of the subsequent states of the grid will be the terms in this sequence. - Andras Erszegi (erszegi.andras(AT)chello.hu), Mar 31 2006

FORMULA

G.f.: product{k>=0, 1 + 4x^(2^k)}; a(n)=product{k=0..log_2(n), 4^b(n, k)}, b(n, k)=coefficient of 2^k in binary expansion of n; a(n)=sum{k=0..n, (C(n, k) mod 2)*3^A000120(n-k)}. (Formulas due to Paul D. Hanna).

a(n)=sum{k=0..n, mod(C(n, k), 2)*sum{j=0..k, mod(C(k, j), 2)*sum{i=0..j, mod(C(j, i), 2)}}} - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Apr 01 2005

G.f. A(x) satisfies 0 = f(A(x), A(x^2), A(x^4)) where f(u, v, w) = w * (u^2 - 2*u*v + 5*v^2) - 4*v^3. - Michael Somos May 29 2008
