COMMENT

Form the matrix A=[1,1,1;2,1,0;1,0,0]. a(n)=trace(A^n). - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Sep 22 2004

The set of prime divisors of elements of this sequence with the exception of 3 is the set of primes that do not divide odd Fibonacci numbers. - Tanya Khovanova (tanyakh(AT)yahoo.com), May 19 2008

FORMULA

a(n)=F(3n)/F(n), n>0; a(n)=2*a(n-1)+2*a(n-2)-a(n-3); a(n)=3a(n-1)-a(n-2)+5(-1)^n; a(n) = L(2n) + (-1)^n, where the L(n) are Lucas numbers A000032. G.f.: (3-4*x-2*x^2)/(1-2*x-2*x^2+x^3).

for n>0 a(n)=A000045(3n)/A000045(n) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Aug 30 2003

a(n)=[3/2+(1/2)*sqrt(5)]^n+(-1)^n+[3/2-(1/2)*sqrt(5)]^n, with n>=0 - Paolo P. Lava (ppl(AT)spl.at), Jun 12 2008
