COMMENTS

This recurrence is patterned after the one for A152980, but without the special cases.

Sequence viewed as triangle:

.0,

.1,

.1,3,

.1,3,5,7,

.1,3,5,7,5,11,17,15,

.1,3,5,7,5,11,17,15,5,11,17,19,21,39,49,31

The rows converge to A151548.

Also the sum of the terms in the k-th row (k >= 1) is 4^(k-1). Proof by induction. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jan 21 2010.

Comment from Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), May 19 2009: If this sequence [1, 1, 3, 1, 3, 5, 7, 1, 3, 5, 7, 5, 11, 17, 15, ...] is convolved with [1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, ...) we obtain A139250, the toothpick sequence. Example: A139250(5) = 15 = (1, 2, 2, 2, 2) * (3, 1, 3, 1, 1).

Starting with 1 and convolved with [1, 2, 0, 0, 0,...] = A151548. [From Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Jun 04 2009]

Refer to A162956 for the analogous triangle using N=3. [From Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Jul 20 2009]

FORMULA

G.f.: x*(1+2*x)/(1+x) + (4*x^2/(1+2*x))*(mul(1+x^(2^k-1)+2*x^(2^k),k=1..oo)-1). - N. J. A. Sloane, May 23 2009, based on Gary Adamson's comment above and the known g.f. for A139250.

EXAMPLE

a(2) = a(2^1+0) = 2a(0)+a(1) = 1, a(3) = a(2^1+1) = 2a(1) + a(2) = 3 a(2^i) = 2a(0) + a(1) = 1

MAPLE

S:=proc(n) option remember; local i, j; if n <= 1 then RETURN(n); fi; i:=floor(log(n)/log(2)); j:=n-2^i; 2*S(j)+S(j+1); end; [from N. J. A. Sloane, May 18 2009]

H := x*(1+2*x)/(1+x) + (4*x^2/(1+2*x))*(mul(1+x^(2^k-1)+2*x^(2^k), k=1..20)-1); series(H, x, 120); # - N. J. A. Sloane, May 23 2009
