From Michael A. Allen, May 16 2023: (Start)

Also called the 30-metallonacci sequence; the g.f. 1/(1-k*x-x^2) gives the k-metallonacci sequence.

a(n) is the number of tilings of an n-board (a board with dimensions n X 1) using unit squares and dominoes (with dimensions 2 X 1) if there are 30 kinds of squares available. (End)

Formula

a(n) = F(n, 30), the n-th Fibonacci polynomial evaluated at x=30. - T. D. Noe, Jan 19 2006

From Philippe Deléham, Nov 22 2008: (Start)

a(n) = 30*a(n-1) + a(n-2) for n > 1; a(0)=1, a(1)=30.

G.f.: 1/(1-30*x-x^2). (End)
