COMMENTS
Generalized Fibonacci growth sequence using i = 2 as maturity period, j = 5 as conception period, and k = 2 as growth factor.
Maturity period is the number of periods that a Fibonacci tree node needs for being able to start developing branches. Conception period is the number of periods in a Fibonacci tree node needed to develop new branches since its maturity. Growth factor is the number of additional branches developed by a Fibonacci tree node, plus 1, and equals the base of the exponential series related to the given tree if maturity factor would be zero. Standard Fibonacci would use 1 as maturity period, 1 as conception period, and 2 as growth factor as the series becomes equal to 2^n with a maturity period of 0. Related to Lucas sequences.

FORMULA
Generic a(n) = 1 for n <= i+j; a(n) = a(n-j) + (k-1)*a(n-(i+j)) for n>i+j where i = maturity period, j = conception period, k = growth factor.
G.f.: x*(1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4) / ((1-x+x^2)*(1+x-x^3-x^4-x^5)). - Colin Barker, Oct 09 2016
Generic g.f.: x*(Sum_{l=0..j-1} x^l) / (1-x^j-(k-1)*x^(i+j)), with i > 0, j > 0 and k > 1.
EXAMPLE
For n = 13 the a(13) = a(8) + a(6) = 2 + 1 = 3.
