COMMENT

Diagonal sums of triangle in A088855. [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Jan 04 2009]

FORMULA

G.f. H(z) satisfies z^2*(1-z-z^2)H^2+(1-z-z^2)(1+z-z^2)H-(1+z-z^2)=0. H=[1/(1-z-z^2)]C(-z^2/(1-3z^2+z^4)), where C(z)=(1-sqrt(1-4z))/(2z) is the Catalan function. a(0)=a(1)=1; a(2n)=a(2n-1)+a(2n-2)-A004148(n-1) for n > 0; a(2n+1)=a(2n)+a(2n-1) for n > 0.

a(n) = F(n) - Sum[A004148(i)*F(n-1-2i), i=1..floor(n/2)-1], where F(i)=A000045(i) are the Fibonacci numbers. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Nov 19 2003

a(n) is asymptotic to c*phi^n/sqrt(n) where phi=(1+sqrt(5))/2 and c=0.86.... - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Nov 19 2003
