%N A076725 a(n) = a(n-1)^2 + a(n-2)^4, a(0) = a(1) = 1.
%C A076725 a(n) and a(n+1) are relatively prime for n >= 0.
%C A076725 The number of independent sets on a complete binary tree with 2^(n-1)-1 nodes. - Jonathan S. Braunhut (jonbraunhut(AT)usa.net), May 04 2004. For example, when n=3, the complete binary tree with 2 levels has 2^2-1 nodes and has 5 independent sets so a(3)=5. The recursion for number of independent sets splits in two cases, with or without the root node being in the set.
%C A076725 a(10) has 113 digits and is too large to include.
