From Michael A. Allen, May 16 2023: (Start)
Also called the 32-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 32 kinds of squares available. (End)

FORMULA
a(n) = F(n, 32), the n-th Fibonacci polynomial evaluated at x=32. - T. D. Noe, Jan 19 2006
a(n) = 32*a(n-1)+a(n-2) for n>1; a(0)=1, a(1)=32. G.f.: 1/(1-32*x-x^2). [Philippe Deléham, Nov 23 2008]
