Old definition was: "Binomial transform of aeration of A081294".
Binomial transform is A063376.
A122983 = (1,1,3,7,1,1,3,7,...) mod 10. - M. F. Hasler, Feb 25 2008
Equals row sums of triangle A158301. - Gary W. Adamson, Mar 15 2009
a(n) = the number of ternary sequences of length n where the numbers of (0's, 1's) are both even. A015518 covers the (odd, even) and (even, odd) cases, and A081251 covers (odd, odd). - Toby Gottfried, Apr 18 2010
This sequence also describes the number of moves of the k-th disk solving (non-optimally) the [RED ; NEUTRAL ; BLUE] pre-colored Magnetic Tower of Hanoi (MToH) puzzle. The sequence A183119 is the partial sums of the sequence in question (obviously describing the total number of moves associated with the specific solution algorithm). For other MToH-related sequences, Cf. A183111 - A183125.
Let B=[1,sqrt(2),0; sqrt(2),1,sqrt(2); 0,sqrt(2),1] be a 3 X 3 matrix. Then a(n)=[B^n]_(1,1), n=0,1,2,.... - L. Edson Jeffery, Dec 21 2011
Also the domination number of the n-Hanoi graph. - Eric W. Weisstein, Jun 16 2017
Also the matching number of the n-Sierpinski sieve graph. - Eric W. Weisstein, Jun 17 2017

FORMULA

G.f.: (1-2*x-x^2)/((1-x)*(1+x)*(1-3*x));
a(n) = 3^n/4+(-1)^n/4+1/2;
E.g.f.: cosh(x)^2*exp(x). - Paul Barry, Jun 14 2007
a(0)=1, a(1)=1, a(2)=3, a(n) = 3*a(n-1) + a(n-2) - 3*a(n-3). - Harvey P. Dale, Sep 03 2013
E.g.f.: Q(0)/2, where Q(k) = 1 + 3^k/( 2 - 2*(-1)^k/( 3^k + (-1)^k - 2*x*3^k/( 2*x + (k+1)*(-1)^k/Q(k+1) ))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Dec 22 2013
