The recurrence can also be written a(n)+1=(a(n-1)+1)*(a(n-2)+1) or log_p(a(n)+1)=log_p(a(n-1)+1)+log_p(a(n-2)+1), respectively. Setting a(1)=p-1 for any natural p>1, it follows that log_p(a(n)+1)=Fib(n). Hence any other sequence p^Fib(n)-1 could also serve as a valid solution to that recurrence, only depending on the value of the term a(1). - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 27 2007

Written in binary, a(n) contains Fib(n) 1's (Fib(n)=A000045(n)). Thus the sequence converted to base-2 is A007088(a(n))=0,1,1,11,111,11111,11111111,... - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 27 2007

The solution to the recurrence a(0) = 0; a(1) = 1; a(n) = a(n-1)*a(n-2) + a(n-1) + a(n-2).

a(n)=A000301(n+1)-1. - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Apr 26 2007

a(n)=a(n-2)*2^ceiling(log_2(a(n-1)))+a(n-1) for n>1. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 27 2007
