COMMENTS

A transform of the Jacobsthal numbers. A059633 is the equivalent transform of the Fibonacci numbers.

Paul Curtz, Aug 05 2007, observes that the inverse binomial transform of 0,0,0,1,2,4,7,14,28,57,114,228,455,910,1820,... gives the same sequence up to signs. That is, the extended sequence is an eigen-sequence for the inverse binomial transform.

The round() function enables the closed (non-recurrence) formula to take a very simple form: see Formula section. This can be generalised without loss of simplicity to a(n) = round(b^n/c), where b and c are very small, incommensurate integers (c may also be an integer fraction). Particular choices of small integers for b and c produce a number of well-known sequences which are usually defined by a recurrence - see Cross Reference. (End)

FORMULA

a(n)=2a(n-1)-a(n-3)+2a(n-4); a(n)=sum{k=0..floor(n/2), C(n-k, k)A001045(k)}; a(n)=sum{k=0..n, C((n+k)/2, k)A001045((n-k)/2)(1+(-1)^(n-k))/2}.

a(3n) = A015565(n), a(3n+1) = 2*A015565(n), a(3n+2) = 4*A015565(n). - Paul Curtz, Nov 30 2007

a(n+1)-2a(n)= A131531(n). a(n)+a(n+3)=2^n. - Paul Curtz, Dec 16 2007
