Comments

a(n) gives the length of the word obtained after n steps with the substitution rule 0->11111, 1->111110, starting from 0. The number of 1's and 0's of this word is 5*a(n-1) and 5*a(n-2), resp.

a(n) / a(n-1) converges to (5 + (3 * sqrt(5))) / 2 as n approaches infinity. (5 + (3 * sqrt(5))) / 2 can also be written as phi^2 + (2 * phi), phi^3 + phi, phi + sqrt(5) + 2, (3 * phi) + 1, (3 * phi^2) - 2, phi^4 - 1 and (5 + (3 * (L(n) / F(n)))) / 2, where L(n) is the n-th Lucas number and F(n) is the n-th Fibonacci number as n approaches infinity. - Ross La Haye, Aug 18 2003, on another version

Formula

a(n) = 5*(a(n-1) + a(n-2)), a(-1)=0, a(0)=1.

a(n) = S(n, i*sqrt(5))*(-i*sqrt(5))^n with S(n, x) := U(n, x/2), Chebyshev's polynomials of the 2nd kind, A049310.

G.f.: 1/(1 - 5*x - 5*x^2).

a(n) = (1/3)*Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n, k)*Fibonacci(k)*3^k. - Benoit Cloitre, Oct 25 2003

a(n) = ((5 + 3*sqrt(5))/2)^n(1/2 + sqrt(5)/6) + (1/2 - sqrt(5)/6)((5 - 3*sqrt(5))/2)^n. - Paul Barry, Sep 22 2004

(a(n)) appears to be given by the floretion - 0.75'i - 0.5'j + 'k - 0.75i' + 0.5j' + 0.5k' + 1.75'ii' - 1.25'jj' + 1.75'kk' - 'ij' - 0.5'ji' - 0.75'jk' - 0.75'kj' - 1.25e ("jes"). - Creighton Dement, Nov 28 2004

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} 4^k*A063967(n,k). - Philippe Deléham, Nov 03 2006

G.f.: G(0)/(2-5*x), where G(k)= 1 + 1/(1 - x*(9*k-5)/(x*(9*k+4) - 2/G(k+1))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jun 17 2013

From Ehren Metcalfe, Nov 18 2017: (Start)

With F(n) = A000045(n), L(n) = A000032(n), beta = (1-sqrt(5))/2:

a(2*n-1) = 5^n*F(4*n)/3 = (5^(n-1/2)*L(4*n) - 2*5^(n-1/2)*beta^(4*n))/3.

a(2*n) = 5^n*L(4*n+2)/3 = (5^(n+1/2)*F(4*n+2) + 2*5^n*beta^(4*n+2))/3.

a(n) = round 5^((n+1)/2)*F(2*(n+1))/3.

a(n) = round 5^(n/2)*L(2*(n+1))/3. (End)
