COMMENT

The digital sum analogue (in base 4) of the Fibonacci recurrence.

When starting from index n=3, periodic with Pisano period A001175(3)=8.

Also a(n)==A004090(n) modulo 3 (A004090(n)=digital sum of Fib(n)).

For general bases p>2, the inequality 2<=a(n)<=2p-3 holds for n>2. Actually, a(n)<=5=A131319(4) for the base p=4.

a(n) and Fib(n)=A000045(n) are congruent modulo 3 which implies that (a(n) mod 3) is equal to (Fib(n) mod 3)=A082115(n-1) (for n>0). Thus (a(n) mod 3) is periodic with the Pisano period = A001175(3)=8 too. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de)

FORMULA

a(n)=a(n-1)+a(n-2)-3*(floor(a(n-1)/4)+floor(a(n-2)/4)).

a(n)=floor(a(n-1)/4)+floor(a(n-2)/4)+(a(n-1)mod 4)+(a(n-2)mod 4).

a(n)=A002265(a(n-1))+A002265(a(n-2))+A010873(a(n-1))+A010873(a(n-2)).

a(n)=Fib(n)-3*sum{1<k<n, Fib(n-k+1)*floor(a(k)/4)}, where Fib(n)=A000045(n).

EXAMPLE

a(8)=3, since a(6)=5=11(base 4), ds_4(5)=2,

a(7)=4=10(base 4), ds_4(4)=1, and so a(8)=2+1.
