cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Denominators of continued fraction convergents to (3+sqrt(13))/2. - Benoit Cloitre, Jun 14 2003
a(n) and A006497(n) occur in pairs: (a,b): (1,3), (3,11), (10,36), (33,119), (109,393), ... such that b^2 - 13a^2 = 4(-1)^n. - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 15 2003
Form the 4-node graph with matrix A = [1,1,1,1; 1,1,1,0; 1,1,0,1; 1,0,1,1]. Then this sequence counts the walks of length n from the vertex with degree 5 to one (any) of the other vertices. - Paul Barry, Oct 02 2004
a(n+1) is the binomial transform of A006138. - Paul Barry, May 21 2006
a(n+1) is the diagonal sum of the exponential Riordan array (exp(3x),x). - Paul Barry, Jun 03 2006
Number of paths in the right half-plane from (0,0) to the line x=n-1, consisting of steps U=(1,1), D=(1,-1), h=(1,0) and H=(2,0). Example: a(3)=10 because we have hh, H, UD, DU, hU, Uh, UU, hD, Dh and DD. - Emeric Deutsch, Sep 03 2007
Equals INVERT transform of A000129. Example: a(5) = 109 = (29, 12, 5, 2, 1) dot (1, 1, 3, 10, 33) = (29 + 12 + 15 + 20 + 33). - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 06 2010
For n >= 2, a(n) equals the permanent of the (n-1) X (n-1) tridiagonal matrix with 3's along the main diagonal, 1's along the superdiagonal and subdiagonal, and 0's everywhere else. - John M. Campbell, Jul 08 2011
These numbers could also be called "bronze Fibonacci numbers". Indeed, for n >= 1, F(n+1) = ceiling(phi*F(n)), if n is even and F(n+1) = floor(phi*F(n)), if n is odd, where phi is the golden ratio; analogously, for Pell numbers (A000129), or "silver Fibonacci numbers", P(n+1) = ceiling(delta*a(n)), if n is even and P(n+1) = floor(delta*a(n)), if n is odd, where delta = delta_S = 1 + sqrt(2) is the silver ratio. Here, for n >= 1, we have a(n+1) = ceiling(c*a(n)), if n is even and a(n+1) = floor(c*a(n)), if n is odd, where c = (3 + sqrt(13))/2 is the bronze ratio (cf. comment in A098316). - Vladimir Shevelev, Feb 23 2013
Let p(n,x) denote the Fibonacci polynomial, defined by p(1,x) = 1, p(2,x) = x, p(n,x) = x*p(n-1,x) + p(n-2,x). Let q(n,x) be the numerator polynomial of the rational function p(n, x + 1 + 1/x). Then q(n,1) = a(n). - Clark Kimberling, Nov 04 2013
The (1,1)-entry of the matrix A^n where A = [0,1,0; 1,2,1; 1,1,2]. - David Neil McGrath, Jul 18 2014
a(n+1) counts closed walks on K2, containing three loops on the other vertex. Equivalently the (1,1)-entry of A^(n+1) where the adjacency matrix of digraph is A = (0,1; 1,3). - David Neil McGrath, Oct 29 2014
For n >= 1, a(n) equals the number of words of length n-1 on alphabet {0,1,2,3} avoiding runs of zeros of odd lengths. - Milan Janjic, Jan 28 2015
With offset 1 is the INVERTi transform of A001076. - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 24 2015
Apart from the initial 0, this is the p-INVERT transform of (1,0,1,0,1,0,...) for p(S) = 1 - 3 S. See A291219. - Clark Kimberling, Sep 02 2017

a(n+1) is the number of tilings of an n-board (a board with dimensions n X 1) using unit squares and dominoes (with dimensions 2 X 1) if there are 3 kinds of squares available. (End)
a(n) is the number of compositions of n when there are P(k) sorts of parts k, with k,n >= 1, P(k) = A000129(k) is the k-th Pell number (see example below). - Enrique Navarrete, Dec 15 2023

From the comment on compositions with Pell number of parts, A000129(k), there are A000129(1)=1 type of 1, A000129(2)=2 types of 2, A000129(3)=5 types of 3, A000129(4)=12 types of 4, A000129(5)=29 types of 5 and A000129(6)=70 types of 6.
The following table gives the number of compositions of n=6:

Formula

G.f.: 1/(1 - 10*x - x^2).
a(n) = 10*a(n-1) + a(n-2), n>=1; a(-1):=0, a(0)=1.
a(n) = S(n, 10*i)*(-i)^n where i^2:=-1 and S(n, x)=U(n, x/2) Chebyshev's polynomials of the second kind. See A049310.
a(n) = (ap^(n+1) - am^(n+1))/(ap-am) with ap = 5+sqrt(26), am = -1/ap = 5-sqrt(26).
a(n) = F(n+1, 10), the (n+1)-th Fibonacci polynomial evaluated at x=10. - T. D. Noe, Jan 19 2006
a(n) = Sum_{i=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n-i,i)*10^(n-2*i). - Sergio Falcon, Sep 24 2007
