COMMENT

Number of (n-1)-bit binary sequences with each one adjacent to a zero. - Ron Hardin (rhhardin(AT)att.net), Dec 24 2007

The binomial transform is A099216. The inverse binomial transform is (-1)^n*A124395(n). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Aug 19 2008]

Contribution from Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 27 2009: (Start)

Equals INVERT transform of (1, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2,...). a(6) = 17 =

(1, 1, 1, 3, 5, 9) dot (0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 1) = (0 + 2 + 0 + 6 + 0 + 9) = 17. (End)

FORMULA

G.f.: (1-x)*(1+x)/(1-x-x^2-x^3). - Ralf Stephan, Feb 11 2004

a(n) = rightmost term of M^n * [1 1 1], where M = the 3X3 matrix [1 1 1 / 1 0 0 / 0 1 0]. (M^n * [1 1 1]= [a(n+2) a(n+1) a(n)]). a(n)/a(n-1) tends to the tribonacci constant, 1.839286755...; an eigenvalue of M and a root of x^3 - x^2 - x - 1 = 0. - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Dec 17 2004

a(n)=A001590(n+3)-A001590(n+2); a(n+1)-a(n)=2*A000073(n); a(n)=A000073(n+3)-A000073(n+1). - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), May 22 2006

a(n)=A001590(n)+A001590(n+1) . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Sep 25 2006

a(n) ~ (F - 1) * T^n, where F = A086254 and T = A058265. [From Charles R Greathouse IV Nov 09 2008]

MAPLE
