Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + 1 if n is a multiple of 6, otherwise a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2).

%C Sequences of the form s(0)=a, s(1)= b, s(n) = s(n-1) + s(n-2) + k if n mod m = p, else s(n) = s(n-1) + s(n-2) have a form s(n) = fibonacci(n-1)*a + fibonacci(n)*b + P(x)*k. a(n) is the P(x) sequence for m=6. s(n) = fib(n)*a + fib(n-1)*b + a(n-6-p)*k. - _Gary Detlefs_, Dec 05 2010

%C a(n) is the number of compositions of n where the order of the 2 and the 3 does not matter. - _Gregory L. Simay_, May 18 2017
