COMMENT

This recurrence arose when a middle schooler was asked to complete a number sequence, given six of the Fibonacci numbers (1,2,3,5,8,13) but not told about the Fibonacci sequence.

FORMULA

a(n) = a(n-1) + 1 + A002620(n-2). For n<2: a(1)=1, a(2)=2. O.g.f.: x*(2*x^3-x^2-x+1)/((-1+x)^4*(x+1)). - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Dec 05 2007

a(n)=-1/16-3*n^2/8+17*n/12+n^3/12+(-1)^n/16. [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jul 22 2009]

EXAMPLE

a(3) = a(2) + 1 + A002620(1) = 2+1+0 = 3

a(4) = a(3) + 1 + A002620(2) = 3+1+1 = 5

a(12) = a(11) + 1 + A002620(10) = 81+1+25 = 107.
