FORMULA
a(n+2) = F(n-1) + F(n+2), for n > 0.
G.f.: (1-x+x^2)/(1-x-x^2). - Paul Barry, May 04 2005
a(n) = A119457(n-1,n-2) for n > 2. - Reinhard Zumkeller, May 20 2006
a(n) = 2*F(n-1) for n > 0, F(n)=A000045(n) and a(0)=1. - Mircea Merca, Jun 28 2012
G.f.: 1 - x + x*Q(0), where Q(k) = 1 + x^2 + (2*k+3)*x - x*(2*k+1 + x)/Q(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 05 2013
a(n) = A118658(n) - 0^n. - M. F. Hasler, Nov 05 2014
a(n) = (2^(-n)*((1-r)^n*(1+r) + (-1+r)*(1+r)^n)) / r for n > 0, where r=sqrt(5). - Colin Barker, Jan 28 2017
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) for n >= 3. - Armend Shabani, Nov 25 2020
E.g.f.: 2*exp(x/2)*(5*cosh(sqrt(5)*x/2) - sqrt(5)*sinh(sqrt(5)*x/2))/5 - 1. - Stefano Spezia, Apr 18 2022
a(n) = F(n-3) + F(n-2) + F(n-1) for n >= 3, where F(n)=A000045(n). - Gergely Földvári, Aug 03 2024
EXAMPLE
a(6)=10 because we have: 000000, 000011, 000111, 001100, 001111, 110000, 110011, 111000, 111100, 111111. - Geoffrey Critzer, Jan 26 2014
