Comments

Cardinality of set of bracelets of size at most n that are tiled with two types of colored squares and four types of colored dominoes.

a(n) is also the diagonal element of the matrix A(i,j) whose first row (i=1) and first column (j=1) are the Fibonacci numbers: A(1,k)=A(k,1)=fib(k) and whose generic element is the sum of element in adjacent (preceding) row and column minus the absolute value of their difference. So a(n) = A(n,n) = A(i-1,j)+A(i,j-1)-abs(A(i-1,j)-A(i,j-1)). - Carmine Suriano, May 13 2010

a(n) is the coefficient of x in the reduction by x^2->x+1 of the polynomial p(n,x) given for d=sqrt(x+1) by p(n,x)=((x+d)^n-(x-d)^n)/(2d), for n>=1. The constant terms under this reduction are the absolute values of terms of A086344. See A192232 for a discussion of reduction. - Clark Kimberling, Jun 29 2011
