FORMULA

Let A_n=\sum_{k<=n/2}{n-2k\choose3k} (the present sequence), B_n=\sum_{k<=n/2}{n-2k\choose3k+1} (A137357), C_n=\sum_{k<=n/2}{n-2k\choose3k+2} (A137358).

Then A_n=A_{n-1}+C_{n-3}+\delta_{n0}, B_n=B_{n-1}+A_{n-1}, C_n=C_{n-1}+B_{n-1};

so the generating functions are A = (1-z)^2/p(z), B=z(1-z)/p(z), C=z^2/p(z),

where p(z)=(1-z)^3-z^5=1-3z+3z^2-z^3-z^5.

The growth ratio is the real root of r^2(r-1)^3=1, approximately 1.70161.
