%N Expansion of 1/((1 - x)*(1 - 2*x^2)).

%C Equals row sums of triangle A137865. - _Gary W. Adamson_, Feb 18 2008

%C Also, the decimal representation of the diagonal from the corner to the origin of the n-th stage of growth of the two-dimensional cellular automaton defined by "Rule 566", based on the 5-celled von Neumann neighborhood, initialized with a single black (ON) cell at stage zero. - _Robert Price_, Jul 05 2017

%C Number of nonempty subsets of {1,2,...,n+1} that contain only odd numbers. a(0) = a(1) = 1: {1}; a(6) = a(7) = 15: {1}, {3}, {5}, {7}, {1,3}, {1,5}, {1,7}, {3,5}, {3,7}, {5,7}, {1,3,5}, {1,3,7}, {1,5,7}, {3,5,7}, {1,3,5,7}. - _Enrique Navarrete_, Mar 16 2018

%C Number of nonempty subsets of {1,2,...,n+2} that contain only even numbers. a(0) = a(1) = 1: {2}; a(4) = a(5) = 7: {2}, {4}, {6}, {2,4}, {2,6}, {4,6}, {2,4,6}. - _Enrique Navarrete_, Mar 26 2018

%C Doubling of A000225(n+1), n >= 0 entries. First differences give A077957. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Apr 08 2018

%C a(n-2) is the number of achiral rows or cycles of length n partitioned into two sets or the number of color patterns using exactly 2 colors. An achiral row or cycle is equivalent to its reverse. Two color patterns are equivalent if the colors are permuted. For n = 4, the a(n-2) = 3 row patterns are AABB, ABAB, and ABBA; the cycle patterns are AAAB, AABB, and ABAB. For n = 5, the a(n-2) = 3 patterns for both rows and cycles are AABAA, ABABA, and ABBBA. For n = 6, the a(n-2) = 7 patterns for rows are AAABBB, AABABB, AABBAA, ABAABA, ABABAB, ABBAAB, and ABBBBA; the cycle patterns are AAAAAB, AAAABB, AAABAB, AAABBB, AABAAB, AABABB, and ABABAB. - _Robert A. Russell_, Oct 15 2018

%C For integers m > 1, the expansion of 1/((1 - x)*(1 - m*x^2)) generates a(n) = sqrt(m)^(n + 1)*((-1)^n*(sqrt(m) - 1)) + sqrt(m) + 1)/(2*(m - 1)). It appears, for integer values of n >= 0 and m > 1, that it could be simplified in the integral domain a(n) = (m^(1 + floor(n/2)) - 1)/(m - 1). - _Federico Provvedi_, Nov 23 2018

%C From _Werner Schulte_, Mar 04 2019: (Start)

%C More generally: For some fixed integers q and r > 0 the expansion of A(q,r; x) = 1/((1-x)*(1-q*x^r)) generates coefficients a(q,r; n) = (q^(1+floor(n/r))-1)/(q-1) for n >= 0; the special case q = 1 leads to a(1,r; n) = 1 + floor(n/r).

%C The a(q,r; n) satisfy for n > r a linear recurrence equation with constant coefficients. The signature vector is given by the sum of two vectors v and w where v has terms 1 followed by r zeros, i.e., (1,0,0,...,0), and w has r-1 leading zeros followed by q and -q, i.e., (0,0,...,0,q,-q).

%C Let a_i(q,r; n) be the convolution inverse of a(q,r; n). The terms are given by the sum a_i(q,r; n) = b(n) + c(n) for n >= 0 where b(n) has terms 1 and -1 followed by infinitely zeros, i.e., (1,-1,0,0,0,...), and c(n) has r leading zeros followed by -q, q and infinitely zeros, i.e., (0,0,...,0,-q,q,0,0,0,...).

%C Here is an example for q = 3 and r = 5: The expansion of A(3,5; x) = 1/((1-x)*(1-3*x^5)) = Sum_{n>=0} a(3,5; n)*x^n generates the sequence of coefficients (a(3,5; n)) = (1,1,1,1,1,4,4,4,4,4,13,13,13,13,13,40,...) where r = 5 controls the repetition and q = 3 the different values.

%C The a(3,5; n) satisfy for n > 5 the linear recurrence equation with constant coefficients and signature (1,0,0,0,0,0) + (0,0,0,0,3,-3) = (1,0,0,0,3,-3).

%C The convolution inverse a_i(3,5; n) has terms (1,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,...) + (0,0,0,0,0,-3,3,0,0,...) = (1,-1,0,0,0,-3,3,0,0,...).

%C For further examples and informations see A014983 (q,r = -3,1), A077925 (q,r = -2,1), A000035 (q,r = -1,1), A000012 (q,r = 0,1), A000027 (q,r = 1,1), A000225 (q,r = 2,1), A003462 (q,r = 3,1), A077953 (q,r = -2,2), A133872 (q,r = -1,2), A004526 (q,r = 1,2), A052551 (this sequence with q,r = 2,2), A077886 (q,r = -2,3), A088911 (q,r = -1,3), A002264 (q,r = 1,3) and A077885 (q,r = 2,3). The offsets might be different.
