Comments

lim a(n)/a(n-1) = (1+sqrt(5))/2.

a(n-1) is the max coefficient in n-th Fibonacci polynomial (the polynomial F_0(x) is constant zero, and is not included in this sequence). - Vladimir Reshetnikov, Oct 09 2016

Formula

a(n) = binomial(n-A060065(n), A060065(n)). - Vladeta Jovovic, Jun 16 2004

a(n) ~ 5^(1/4) * phi^(n+1) / sqrt(2*Pi*n), where phi = A001622 = (1+sqrt(5))/2 is the golden ratio. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 09 2016

Example

For n = 6, C(6,0) = 1, C(5,1) = 5, C(4,2) = 6, C(3,3) = 1. These binomial coefficients are the coefficients in the Fibonacci polynomial F_7(x) = x^6 + 5*x^4 + 6*x^2 + 1. The max coefficient is 6, so a(6) = 6.
