%N a(n) = Fibonacci(3*n + 1).

%C Binomial transform of A063727, and second binomial transform of (1,1,5,5,25,25,...), which is A074872 with offset 0. - _Paul Barry_, Jul 16 2003

%C Equals INVERT transform of A104934: (1, 2, 8, 28, 100, 356, ...) and INVERTi transform of A005054: (1, 4, 20, 100, 500, ...). - _Gary W. Adamson_, Jul 22 2010

%C a(n) is the number of compositions of n when there are 3 types of 1 and 4 types of other natural numbers. - _Milan Janjic_, Aug 13 2010

%C F(3*n+1) = 3^n*a(n;2/3), where a(n;d), n = 0, 1, ..., d, denote the delta-Fibonacci numbers defined in comments to A000045 (see also the papers by Witula et al.). - _Roman Witula_, Jul 12 2012

%C We note that the remark above by _Paul Barry_ can be easily obtained from the following scaling identity for delta-Fibonacci numbers y^n a(n;x/y) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) (y-1)^(n-k) a(k;x) and the fact that a(n;2)=5^floor(n/2). Indeed, for x=y=2 we get 2^n a(n;1) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) a(k;2) and, by A000045: Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) 2^k a(k;1) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) F(k+1) 2^k = 3^n a(n;2/3) = F(3n+1). - _Roman Witula_, Jul 12 2012

%C Except for the first term, this sequence can be generated by Corollary 1 (iv) of Azarian's paper in the references for this sequence. - _Mohammad K. Azarian_, Jul 02 2015

%C Number of 1’s in the substitution system {0 -> 110, 1 -> 11100} at step n from initial string "1" (1 -> 11100 -> 111001110011100110110 -> ...). - _Ilya Gutkovskiy_, Apr 10 2017

%C The o.g.f. of {F(m*n + 1)}_{n>=0}, for m = 1, 2, ..., is G(m,x) = (1 - F(m-1)*x) / (1 - L(m)*x + (-1)^m*x^2), with F = A000045 and L = A000032. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Feb 06 2023
