COMMENT

Number of words of length n without adjacent 0's from the alphabet {0,1,2}. For example, a(2) counts 01,02,10,11,12,20,21,22. - Antonio G. Astudillo (afg_astudillo(AT)hotmail.com), Jun 12 2001

Individually, both this sequence and A002605 are convergents to 1+sqrt(3). Mutually, both sequences are convergents to 2+sqrt(3) and 1+sqrt(3)/2.- Klaus E. Kastberg (kastberg(AT)hotkey.net.au), Nov 04 2001

Add a loop at two vertices of the graph C_3=K_3. A028859(n) counts walks of length n+1 between these vertices. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Oct 15 2004

Prefaced with a 1 as (1 + x + 3x^2 + 8x^3 + 22x^4 + ...) =

1 / (1 - x - 2x^2 - 3x^3 - 5x^4 - 8x^5 - 13x^6 - 21x^7 - ...). (End)

FORMULA

a(n) = a(n-1) + A052945(n) = A002605(n) + A002605(n-1); generating function = -(x+1)/(2*x^2+2*x-1).

a(n)=[(1+sqrt(3))^(n+2)-(1-sqrt(3))^(n+2)]/(4sqrt(3)). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Feb 01 2005
