COMMENTS

Let (a_n) be the sequence and (a_(n+1)) the sequence beginning at 1. Let B and iB be the binomial and inverse binomial transforms, respectively. Then B((a_n)) = A001108(n) (a(n)-th triangular number is a square); B((a_(n+1))) = A002315(n) (NSW Numbers); iB((a_(n+1))) = A096980(n). Note: a 2nd sequence generated by the same floretion is A057087 (Scaled Chebyshev U-polynomials evaluated at i. Generalized Fibonacci sequence.). As is often the case with two sequences corresponding to a single floretion, both satisfy the same recurrence relation.

FORMULA

a(n+1) = -1/2*(2-2*2^(1/2))^n*(-1+2^(1/2))-1/2*(2+2*2^(1/2))^n*(-1-2^(1/2)), G.f. x*(1+2*x)/(1-4*x-4*x^2)

a(n)=sum{k=0..n, (-1)^k*C(n-1, k)*(Pell(2n-2k)-Pell(2n-2k-1))}, n>0, where Pell(n)=A000129(n); - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jun 07 2005

a(n)=((3+sqrt18)(2+sqrt8)^n+(3-sqrt18)(2-sqrt8)^n)/6 offset 0. [From Al Hakanson (hawkuu(AT)gmail.com), Aug 15 2009]

a(n) = 2^(n-1) * A001333(n), n>0. [Ralf Stephan, Dec 02 2010]
