a(n) is the least k such that A056792(k) = n.
One quarter of the number of positive integer (n+2) X (n+2) arrays with every 2 X 2 subblock summing to 1. - R. H. Hardin, Sep 29 2008
Number of length n+1 left factors of Dyck paths having no DUU's (here U=(1,1) and D=(1,-1)). Example: a(4)=7 because we have UDUDU, UUDDU, UUDUD, UUUDD, UUUDU, UUUUD, and UUUUU (the paths UDUUD, UDUUU, and UUDUU do not qualify).
a(n - 1), n > 1, is the number of maximal subsemigroups of the monoid of order-preserving or -reversing partial injective mappings on a set with n elements. - Wilf A. Wilson, Jul 21 2017
Number of monomials of the algebraic normal form of the Boolean function representing the n-th bit of the product 3x in terms of the bits of x. - Sebastiano Vigna, Oct 04 2020

FORMULA
|
a(0)=1, a(1)=2; thereafter a(n) = 2*a(n-2) + 1, n >= 2.
G.f.: (1 + x - x^2)/((1 - x)*(1 - 2*x^2)).
a(n) = -1 + Sum_{alpha = RootOf(-1 + 2*Z^2)} (1/4) * (3 + 4*alpha) * alpha^(-1-n). (That is, the sum is indexed by the roots of the polynomial -1 + 2*Z^2.)
a(n) = 2^(n/2) * (3*sqrt(2)/4 + 1 - (3*sqrt(2)/4 - 1) * (-1)^n) - 1. - Paul Barry, May 23 2004
a(2n+1) = (a(2*n) + a(2*n+2))/2. Combined with a(n) = 2*a(n-2) + 1, n >= 2 and a(0) = 1, this specifies the sequence. - Richard R. Forberg, Nov 30 2013
a(n) = ((5 - (-1)^n)/2)*2^((2*n - 1 + (-1)^n)/4) - 1. - Luce ETIENNE, Sep 20 2014
E.g.f.: (1/4)*exp(-sqrt(2)*x)*(4 - 3*sqrt(2) + (4 + 3*sqrt(2))*exp(2*sqrt(2)*x) - 4*exp(x + sqrt(2)*x)). - Stefano Spezia, Oct 22 2019

CROSSREFS

See A016116 for the first differences.
The following sequences are all essentially the same, in the sense that they are simple transformations of each other, with A029744 = {s(n), n>=1}, the numbers 2^k and 3*2^k, as the parent: A029744 (s(n)); A052955 (s(n)-1), A027383 (s(n)-2), A354788 (s(n)-3), A347789 (s(n)-4), A209721 (s(n)+1), A209722 (s(n)+2), A343177 (s(n)+3), A209723 (s(n)+4); A060482, A136252 (minor differences from A354788 at the start); A354785 (3*s(n)), A354789 (3*s(n)-7). The first differences of A029744 are 1,1,1,2,2,4,4,8,8,... which essentially matches eight sequences: A016116, A060546, A117575, A131572, A152166, A158780, A163403, A320770. The bisections of A029744 are A000079 and A007283. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jul 14 2022
