Convergents to 2*golden ratio = (1+sqrt(5)).
Number of ways to tile an n-board with two types of colored squares and four types of colored dominoes.
The same sequence may be obtained by the following process. Starting a priori with the fraction 1/1, the numerators of fractions built according to the rule: add top and bottom to get the new bottom, add top and 5 times the bottom to get the new top. The limit of the sequence of fractions is sqrt(5). - Cino Hilliard, Sep 25 2005
a(n) is also the quasi-diagonal element A(i-1,i)=A(1,i-1) of matrix A(i,j) whose elements in first row A(1,k) and first column A(k,1) equal k-th fibonacci Fib(k) and the generic element is the sum of adjacent (previous) in row and column minus the absolute value of their difference. - Carmine Suriano, May 13 2010
For positive n, a(n) equals the permanent of the n X n tridiagonal matrix with 2's along the three central diagonals. - John M. Campbell, Jul 19 2011
Pisano period lengths: 1, 1, 8, 1, 5, 8, 48, 1, 24, 5, 10, 8, 42, 48, 40, 1, 72, 24, 18, 5, ... - R. J. Mathar, Aug 10 2012

FORMULA

a(n) = sqrt(5)/10*((1+sqrt(5))^(n+1) - (1-sqrt(5))^(n+1)).
G.f.: 1/(1-2*x-4*x^2). (End)
From Mario Catalani (mario.catalani(AT)unito.it), Jun 13 2003: (Start)
a(2*n) = 4*a(n-1)^2 + a(n)^2.
A084057(n+1)/a(n) converges to sqrt(5). (End)
E.g.f.: exp(x)*(cosh(sqrt(5)*x))+sinh(sqrt(5)*x)/sqrt(5)). - Paul Barry, Sep 20 2003
a(n) = sum{k=0..floor(n/2), C(n, 2*k+1)*5^k}. - Paul Barry, Nov 15 2003
a(n) = U(n, i/sqrt(4))(-i*sqrt(4))^n, i^2=-1. - Paul Barry, Nov 17 2003
Simplified formula: ((1+sqrt5)^n-(1-sqrt5)^n)/sqrt20. Offset 1. a(3)=8. - Al Hakanson (hawkuu(AT)gmail.com), Jan 03 2009
First binomial transform of 1,1,5,5,25,25. - Al Hakanson (hawkuu(AT)gmail.com), Jul 20 2009
a(n) = A(n-1,n) = A(n,n-1); A(i,j) = A(i-1,j) + A(i,j-1) - abs(A(i-1,j) - A(i,j-1)). - Carmine Suriano, May 13 2010
G.f.: G(0) where G(k) = 1 + 2*x*(1+2*x)/(1 - 2*x*(1+2*x)/(2*x*(1+2*x) + 1/G(k+1) )); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jan 31 2013
G.f.: G(0)/(2*(1-x)), where G(k) = 1 + 1/(1 - x*(5*k-1)/(x*(5*k+4) - 1/G(k+1))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, May 26 2013
G.f.: Q(0)/2 , where Q(k) = 1 + 1/(1 - x*(4*k+2 + 4*x )/( x*(4*k+4 + 4*x ) + 1/Q(k+1))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Sep 21 2013
