lim n->inf a(n)/a(n-1) = positive root of 1+x-x^3 (smallest Pisot-Vijayaraghavan number, A060006) - Gerald McGarvey (Gerald.McGarvey(AT)comcast.net), Sep 19 2004

a(n) = number of distinct even run-types taken over nonempty subsets of [n+1]. The run-type of a set of positive integers is the sequence of lengths when the set is decomposed into maximal runs of consecutive integers, and it is even if all its entries are even. For example, the set {2,3,5,6,9,10,11} has run-type (2,2,3), and a(6)=6 counts (2),(4),(6),(2,2),(2,4),(4,2). - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), Jul 14 2006

Partial sums of the sequence obtained by deleting the first 2 terms of A000931. Example: 0+1+0+1+1 = 3 = a(4). - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), Jul 14 2006

One less than the sequence obtained by deleting the first 7 terms of A000931. - Ira Gessel (gessel(AT)brandeis.edu), May 02 2007

a(0)=0, a(1)=1, a(2)=1 then for n>2 a(n)=ceiling(r*a(n-1)) where r is the positive root of x^3-x-1=0 - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Jun 19 2004

For n>2 a(n) = floor{sqrt(a(n-3)*a(n-2) + a(n-2)*a(n-1) + a(n-1)*a(n-3))} + 1 - Gerald McGarvey (Gerald.McGarvey(AT)comcast.net), Sep 19 2004

a(n) = Sum_{1<=k<=(n+2)/3} binomial[Floor[(n+2-k)/2],k]. This formula counts even run-types by length. - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), Jul 14 2006
