COMMENTS
For n=5, subsets containing {a,a+4} occur only when a=1. There are 2^3 subsets including {1,5}, thus a(5) = 8.
LINKS
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (3,-1,-2,-2,6,-2,-4,2,-6,2,4,1,-3, 1,2).
FORMULA
a(n) = 2^n - A208741(n-1).
a(n) = 2^n - Product_{i=0..3} Fibonacci(floor((n + i)/4) + 2).
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - a(n-2) -2*a(n-3) -2*a(n-4) + 6*a(n-5) - 2*a(n-6) - 4*a(n-7) + 2*a(n-8) - 6*a(n-9) + 2*a(n-10) + 4*a(n-11) + a(n-12) - 3*a(n-13) + a(n-14) + 2*a(n-15).
G.f.: x^5*(8 + 4 x - 2 x^2 - 3 x^3 - 2 x^4 - x^5 - x^6 - x^7 - 2 x^8 - x^9) / ((1 - x) (1 + x) (1 - 2 x) (1 + x^2) (1 - x - x^2) (1 + 3 x^4 + x^8)).
