Essentially same as Pisot sequence E(2,5).

a(n) is the number of ordered trees on n edges containing exactly one non-leaf vertex all of whose children are leaves (every ordered tree must contain at least one such vertex). For example, a(0) = 1 because the root of the tree with no edges is not considered to be a leaf and the condition "all children are leaves" is vacuously satisfied by the root and a(4) = 13 counts all 14 ordered trees on 4 edges (A000108) except (ignore dots)

Consider a teacher who teaches one student, then he finds he can teach two students while the original student learns to teach a student. And so on with every generation an individual can teach one more student then he could before. a(n) starting at a(2) gives the total number of new students/teachers (see program). - Ben Paul Thurston, Apr 11 2007
The Diophantine equation a(n)=m has a solution (for m >= 1) iff ceiling(arcsinh(sqrt(5)*m/2)/log(phi)) != ceiling(arccosh(sqrt(5)*m/2)/log(phi)) where phi is the golden ratio. An equivalent condition is A130255(m)=A130256(m). - Hieronymus Fischer, May 24 2007

Lang link under A135817 for the Wythoff representation of numbers (with A as 1 and B as 0 and the argument 1 omitted). E.g., 2=`0`, 5=`00`, 13=`000`, ..., in Wythoff code.
Bisection of the Fibonacci sequence into odd-indexed nonzero terms (1, 2, 5, 13, ...) and even-indexed terms (1, 3, 8, 21, ...) may be represented as row sums of companion triangles A140068 and A140069. - Gary W. Adamson, May 04 2008
a(n) is the number of partitions pi of [n] (in standard increasing form) such that Flatten[pi] is a (2-1-3)-avoiding permutation. Example: a(4)=13 counts all 15 partitions of [4] except 13/24 and 13/2/4. Here "standard increasing form" means the entries are increasing in each block and the blocks are arranged in increasing order of their first entries. Also number that avoid 3-1-2. - David Callan, Jul 22 2008
Let P be the partial sum operator, A000012: (1; 1,1; 1,1,1; ...) and A153463 = M, the partial sum & shift operator. It appears that beginning with any randomly taken sequence S(n), iterates of the operations M * S(n), -> M * ANS, -> P * ANS, etc. (or starting with P) will rapidly converge upon a two-sequence limit cycle of (1, 2, 5, 13, 34, ...) and (1, 1, 3, 8, 21, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Dec 27 2008

(1, a(n), a(n+1)), n >= 0, are Markoff triples (see A002559 and Robert G. Wilson v's Oct 05 2005 comment). In the Markoff tree they give one of the outer branches. Proof: a(n)*a(n+1) - 1 = A001906(2*n)^2 = (a(n+1) - a(n))^2 = a(n)^2 + a(n+1)^2 - 2*a(n)*a(n+1), thus 1^2 + a(n)^2 + a(n+1)^2 = 3*a(n)*a(n+1). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 30 2015
For n > 0, a(n) is the smallest positive integer not already in the sequence such that a(1) + a(2) + ... + a(n) is a Fibonacci number. - Derek Orr, Jun 01 2015

a(n) is the number of bargraphs of semiperimeter n+1 having no valleys (i.e., convex bargraphs). Equivalently, number of bargraphs of semiperimeter n+1 having exactly 1 peak.

The sequence solves the following problem: find all the pairs (i,j) such that i divides 1+j^2 and j divides 1+i^2. In fact, the pairs (a(n), a(n+1)), n > 0, are all the solutions. - Tomohiro Yamada, Dec 23 2018
Number of permutations in S_n whose principal order ideals in the Bruhat order are lattices (equivalently, modular, distributive, Boolean lattices). - Bridget Tenner, Jan 16 2020
a(n) is the upper left entry of the n-th power of the 2 X 2 tridiagonal matrix M_2 = Matrix([1,1], [1,2]) from A322602: a(n) = ((M_2)^n)[1,1].
Proof: (M_2)^2 = 3*M + 1_2 (with the 2 X 2 unit matrix 1_2) from the characteristic polynomial of M_2 (see a comment in A322602) and the Cayley-Hamilton theorem. The recurrence M^n = M*M^(n-1) leads to (M_n)^n = S(n, 3)*1_2 + S(n-a, 3)*(M - 3*1_2), for n >= 0, with S(n, 3) = F(2(n+1)) = A001906(n+1). Hence ((M_2)^n)[1,1] = S(n, 3) - 2*S(n-1, 3) = a(n) = F(2*n-1) = (1/(2*r+1))*r^(2*n-1)*(1 + (1/r^2)^(2*n-1)), with r = rho(5) = A001622 (golden ratio) (see the first Aug 31 2004 formula, using the recurrence of S(n, 3), and the Michael Somos Oct 28 2002 formula). This proves a conjecture of Gary W. Adamson in A322602.
The ratio a(n)/a(n-1) converges to r^2 = rho(5)^2 = A104457 for n -> infinity (see the a(n) formula in terms of r), which is one of the statements by Gary W. Adamson in A322602. (End)
a(n) is the number of ways to stack coins with a bottom row of n coins such that any coin not on the bottom row touches exactly two coins in the row below, and all the coins on any row are contiguous [Wilf, 2.12]. - Greg Dresden, Jun 29 2020
a(n) is the upper left entry of the (2*n)-th power of the 4 X 4 Jacobi matrix L with L(i,j)=1 if |i-j| = 1 and L(i,j)=0 otherwise. - Michael Shmoish, Aug 29 2020
All positive solutions of the indefinite binary quadratic F(1, -3, 1) := x^2 - 3*x*y + y^2, of discriminant 5, representing -1 (special Markov triples (1, y=x, z=y) if y <= z) are [x(n), y(n)] = [abs(F(2*n+1)), abs(F(2*n-1))], for n = -infinity..+infinity. (F(-n) = (-1)^(n+1)*F(n)). There is only this single family of proper solutions, and there are no improper solutions. [See also the Floor van Lamoen Nov 29 2001 comment, which uses this negative n, and my Jan 30 2015 comment.] - Wolfdieter Lang, Sep 23 2020
These are the denominators of the lower convergents to the golden ratio, tau; they are also the numerators of the upper convergents (viz. 1/1 < 3/2 < 8/5 < 21/13 < ... < tau < ... 13/8 < 5/3 < 2/1). - Clark Kimberling, Jan 02 2022
a(n+1) is the number of subgraphs of the path graph on n vertices. - Leen Droogendijk, Jun 17 2023
For n > 4, a(n+2) is the number of ways to tile this 3 x n "double-box" shape with squares and dominos (reflections or rotations are counted as distinct tilings). The double-box shape is made up of two horizontal strips of length n, connected by three vertical columns of length 3, and the center column can be located anywhere not touching the two outside columns.

G.f.: (1-2*x)*G(0)/(2-3*x), where G(k) = 1 + 1/( 1 - x*(5*k-9)/(x*(5*k-4) - 6/G(k+1) )); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jul 19 2013
G.f.: 1 + x*(1-x^2)*Q(0)/2, where Q(k) = 1 + 1/(1 - x*(4*k+2 + 2*x - x^2)/( x*(4*k+4 + 2*x - x^2 ) + 1/Q(k+1) )); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Sep 11 2013
G.f.: Q(0,u), where u=x/(1-x), Q(k,u) = 1 + u^2 + (k+2)*u - u*(k+1 + u)/Q(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 07 2013
Let F(n) be the n-th Fibonacci number, A000045(n), and L(n) be the n-th Lucas number, A000032(n). Then for n > 0, a(n) = F(n)*L(n-1) + (-1)^n. - Charlie Marion, Jan 01 2014
1 = a(n)*a(n+2) - a(n+1)*a(n+1) for all n in Z. - Michael Somos, Jul 08 2014
a(n) = 3*F(n-1)^2 + F(n-3)*F(n) - 2*(-1)^n. - J. M. Bergot, Feb 17 2016
E.g.f.: (2*exp(sqrt(5)*x) + 3 + sqrt(5))*exp(-x*(sqrt(5)-3)/2)/(5 + sqrt(5)). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jul 04 2016
a(n) = ((M_2)^n)[1,1] = S(n, 3) - 2*S(n-1, 3), with the 2 X 2 tridiagonal matrix M_2 = Matrix([1,1], [1,2]) from A322602. For a proof see the Mar 30 2020 comment above. - Wolfdieter Lang, Mar 30 2020
a(n+1) = Product_{k=1..n} (1 + 4*cos(2*Pi*k/(2*n + 1))^2). Special case of A099390. - Greg Dresden, Oct 16 2021
a(n+1) = 4^(n+1)*Sum_{k >= n} binomial(2*k,2*n)*(1/5)^(k+1). Cf. A102591. - Peter Bala, Nov 29 2021
a(n) = cosh((2*n-1)*arcsinh(1/2))/sqrt(5/4). - Peter Luschny, May 21 2022
a(n) = F(n-1)*L(n) - (-1)^n where L(n)=A000032(n) and F(n)=A000045(n).
a(n) = (L(n-1)^2 + L(n-1)*L(n+1))/5 + (-1)^n.
a(n) = 2*(area of a triangle with vertices at (L(n-2), L(n-1)), (F(n), F(n-1)), (L(n), L(n+1))) + 5*(-1)^n for n > 2. (End)
