%N Coefficients of S(x) which satisfies S(x) = (1 + 3*x + 5*x^2)*S(x^2).

%C Has an apparent fractal structure with the following properties:

%C a(n) for n = 0, 1, 3, 7, 15, ... are 1, 3, 9, 27, ....

%C Odd n-th terms are divisible by 3 (starting with n=1) creating the same sequence.

%C Then the result is relabeled with n=0,1,2,...; with the odds again divisible by 3, getting (1, 3, 8, 9, 23, ...); and so on.

%F Given M = an infinite triangular matrix with (1, 3, 5, ...) in each column; shifted down twice for columns > 0. Then A176205 = lim_{n->infinity} M^n, the left shifted vector considered as a sequence.

%F a(2*n) = a(n) + 5*a(n-1) and a(2*n+1) = 3*a(n), with a(0) = 1. - _G. C. Greubel_, Mar 13 2020
