%C A015518 Number of walks of length n between any two distinct vertices of the 
               complete graph K_4. - Paul Barry and Emeric Deutsch, Apr 01 2004
%C A015518 For n>=1, a(n) is the number of integers k, 1<=k<=3^(n-1), such that 
               their ternary representation ends in even number of zeros (see A007417).

%C A015518 Form the digraph with matrix A=[0,1,1,1;1,0,1,1;1,1,0,1;1,0,1,1]. A015518(n) 
               corresponds to the (1,3) term of A^n. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie),

%C A015518 The same sequence may be obtained by the following process. Starting 
               a priori with the fraction 1/1, the denominators of fractions built 
               according to the rule: add top and bottom to get the new bottom, 
               add top and 4 times the bottom to get the new top. The limit of the 
               sequence of fractions is 2. - Cino Hilliard (hillcino368(AT)gmail.com),

%C A015518 (A046717(n))^2 + (2*a(n))^2 = A046717(2n). E.g. A046717(3) = 13, 2*a(3) 
               = 14, A046717(6) = 365. 13^2 + 14^2 = 365. - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com),

%C A015518 For n>=2, number of ordered partitions of n-1 into parts of sizes 1 and 
               2 where there are two types of 1 (singletons) and three types of 
               2 (twins). For example, the number of possible configurations of 
               families of n-1 male (M) and female (F) offspring considering only 
               single births and twins, where the birth order of M/F/pair-of-twins 
               is considered and there are three types of twins; namely, both F, 
               both M, or one F and one M - where birth order within a pair of twins 
               itself is disregarded. In particular, for a(3)=7, two children could 
               be either: (1) F, then M; (2) M, then F; (3) F,F; (4) M,M; (5) F,
               F twins; (6) M,M twins; or (7) M,F twins (emphasizing that birth 
               order is irrelevant here when both/all children are the same gender 
               and when two children are within the same pair of twins). - Rick

%C A015518 a(n) is prime for n = {2, 3, 5, 7, 13, 23, ...}, where only a(2) = 2 
               corresponds to a prime of the form (3^n - 1)/4. All prime a(n), except 
               a(2) = 2, are the primes of the form (3^n + 1)/4. Numbers n such 
               that (3^n + 1)/4 is prime are listed in A007658(n) = {3, 5, 7, 13, 
               23, 43, 281, 359, 487, 577, 1579, 1663, 1741, 3191, 9209, 11257, 
               12743, 13093, 17027, 26633, ...}. Note that all prime a(n) have prime 
               indices. Prime a(n) are listed in A111010(n) = {2, 7, 61, 547, 398581,
