%N a(n) = Fibonacci(n+3) - 2.

%C This is the sequence A(0,1;1,1;2) of the family of sequences [a,b:c,d:k] considered by G. Detlefs, and treated as A(a,b;c,d;k) in the W. Lang link given below. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Oct 17 2010

%C Ternary words of length n - 1 with subwords (0, 1), (0, 2) and (2, 2) not allowed. - _Olivier Gérard_, Aug 28 2012

%C For subsets of (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ...) Fibonacci Maximal terms (Cf. A181631) equals the number of leading 1's per subset. For example, (7-11) in Fibonacci Maximal = (1010, 1011, 1101, 1110, 1111), numbers of leading 1's = (1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4) = 11 = a(4) = row 4 of triangle A181631. - _Gary W. Adamson_, Nov 02 2010

%C As in our 2009 paper, we use two types of Fibonacci trees: - Ta: Fibonacci analog of binomial trees; Tb: Binary Fibonacci trees. Let D(r(k)) be the sum over all distances of the form d(r, x), across all vertices x of the tree rooted at r of order k. Ignoring r, but overloading, let D(a(k)) and D(b(k)) be the distance sums for the Fibonacci trees Ta and Tb respectively of the order k. Using the sum-of-product form in Equations (18) and (21) in our paper it follows that F(k+4) - 2 = D(a(k+1)) - D(b(k-1)). - _K.V.Iyer_ and P. Venkata Subba Reddy, Apr 30 2011

%C a(n) is the length of the n-th palindromic prefix of the infinite Fibonacci word A003849. - _Dimitri Hendriks_, May 19 2014

%C The first k terms of the infinite Fibonacci word A014675 are palindromic if and only if k is a positive term of this sequence. - _Clark Kimberling_, Jul 14 2014

%C Can be expressed in terms of a rule similar to Recamán's sequence (A005132). Instead of following the Recamán rule "subtract if possible, otherwise add", this sequence follows the rule "If subtraction is possible, do nothing; otherwise add." For example when at the fourth term, 6, it is possible to subtract 4 (giving 2 which is not in {0, 1, 3, 6}) so nothing is done with 4. It is not possible to subtract 5 (6-5=1, which is in {0, 1, 3, 6}), so it is added, resulting in 11. - _Matthew Malone_, Jan 03 2020
