COMMENTS
Number of compositions of n+1 containing exactly one 1. - Emeric Deutsch, Mar 08 2002
Number of permutations with one fixed point avoiding 231 and 321.
A singleton is a run of length 1. - Michael Somos, Nov 29 2014
Second column of A105422. - Michael Somos, Nov 29 2014
Number of weak compositions of n with one 0 and no 1's. Example: Combine one 0 with the compositions of 5 without 1 to get a(5) = 8 weak compositions: 0,5; 5,0; 0,2,3; 0,3,2; 2,0,3; 3,0,2; 2,3,0; 3,2,0. - Gregory L. Simay, Mar 21 2018

FORMULA
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + Fibonacci(n-3).
G.f.: (1-x)^2/(1-x-x^2)^2. - Emeric Deutsch, Mar 08 2002
a(n) = A010049(n+1) - A010049(n). - R. J. Mathar, May 30 2014
Convolution square of A212804. - Michael Somos, Nov 29 2014
a(n) = -(-1)^n * A004798(-1-n) for all n in Z. - Michael Somos, Nov 29 2014
0 = a(n)*(-2*a(n) - 7*a(n+1) + 2*a(n+2) + a(n+3)) + a(n+1)*(-4*a(n+1) + 10*a(n+2) - 2*a(n+3)) + a(n+2)*(+4*a(n+2) - 7*a(n+3)) + a(n+3)*(+2*a(n+3)) for all n in Z. - Michael Somos, Nov 29 2014
a(n) = (n*Lucas(n-2) + Fibonacci(n))/5 + Fibonacci(n-1). - Ehren Metcalfe, Jul 29 2017
EXAMPLE
a(4) = 5 because among the 2^4 compositions of 5 only 4+1,1+4,2+2+1,2+1+2,1+2+2 contain exactly one 1.
a(4) = 5 because the binary vectors of length 4+1 beginning with 0 and with exactly one singleton are: 00001, 00100, 00110, 01100, 01111. - Michael Somos, Nov 29 2014
G.f. = 1 + 2*x^2 + 2*x^3 + 5*x^4 + 8*x^5 + 15*x^6 + 26*x^7 + 46*x^8 + ...
