COMMENT

The even neighbor must differ from the odd number by exactly one.

If we defined this sequence by the recurrence (a(n) = 3*a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2)) that it satisfies, we could prefix it with an initial 0.

FORMULA

Let b(0)=1, b(k)=floor(b(k-1))+2/b(k-1); then, for n>0, b(n)=a(n)/a(n-1). - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Sep 09 2002

The Hankel transform of this sequence is [1,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,...]. - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 21 2007

G.f.: 1/(1-3x-2x^2). a(n)=3a(n-1)+2a(n-2). a(n)=(ap^(n+1)-am^(n+1))/(ap-am), ap := (3+sqrt(17))/2, am := (3-sqrt(17))/2.

a(n)=sum{k=0..floor(n/2), C(n-k, k)2^k*3^(n-2k)} - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Apr 23 2005

a(n)=Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n}A112906(n,k). - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 21 2007
