a(n) is the number of allowable transition rules for passing from one change to the next (on n-1 bells) in the English art of bell-ringing. This is also the number of involutions in the symmetric group S_{n-1} which can be represented as a product of transpositions of consecutive numbers from {1, 2, ..., n-1}. Thus for n = 6 we have a(6) from (12), (12)(34), (12)(45), (23), (23)(45), (34), (45), for instance. See my 1983 Math. Proc. Camb. Phil. Soc. paper. - Arthur T. White, letter to N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 18 1986
Number of permutations p of {1, 2, ..., n-1} such that max|p(i) - i| = 1. Example: a(4) = 2 since only the permutations 132 and 213 of {1, 2, 3} satisfy the given condition. - Emeric Deutsch, Jun 04 2003 [For a(5) = 4 we have 2143, 1324, 2134 and 1243. - Jon Perry, Sep 14 2013]
Number of 001-avoiding binary words of length n-3. a(n) is the number of partitions of {1, ..., n-1} into two blocks in which only 1- or 2-strings of consecutive integers can appear in a block and there is at least one 2-string. E.g., a(6) = 7 because the enumerated partitions of {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} are 124/35, 134/25, 14/235, 13/245, 1245/3, 145/23, 125/34. - Augustine O. Munagi, Apr 11 2005
Numbers for which only one Fibonacci bit-representation is possible and for which the maximal and minimal Fibonacci bit-representations (A104326 and A014417) are equal. For example, a(12) = 10101 because 8 + 3 + 1 = 12. - Casey Mongoven, Mar 19 2006

a(n) is the number of branch nodes in the Fibonacci tree of order n-1. A Fibonacci tree of order n (n >= 2) is a complete binary tree whose left subtree is the Fibonacci tree of order n-1 and whose right subtree is the Fibonacci tree of order n-2; each of the Fibonacci trees of order 0 and 1 is defined as a single node (see the Knuth reference, p. 417). - Emeric Deutsch, Jun 14 2010
a(n+3) is the number of distinct three-strand positive braids of length n (cf. Burckel). - Maxime Bourrigan, Apr 04 2011
a(n+1) is the number of compositions of n with maximal part 2. - Joerg Arndt, May 21 2013
a(n+2) is the number of leafs of great-grandparent DAG (directed acyclic graph) of height n. A great-grandparent DAG of height n is a single node for n = 1; for n > 1 each leaf of ggpDAG(n-1) has two child nodes where pairs of adjacent new nodes are merged into single node if and only if they have disjoint grandparents and same great-grandparent. Consequence: a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-3). - Hermann Stamm-Wilbrandt, Jul 06 2014

From Russell Jay Hendel, Mar 15 2015: (Start)
We can establish Gerald McGarvey's conjecture mentioned in the Formula section, however we require n > 4. We need the following 4 prerequisites.
(1) a(n) = F(n) - 1, with {F(n)}A000045.%20(2)%20(Binet%20form)%20F(n)%20=%20(d%5En%20-%20e%5En)/sqrt(5)%20with%20d%20=%20phi%20and%20e%20=%201%20-%20phi,%20de%20=%20-1%20and%20d%20+%20e%20=%201.%20It%20follows%20that%20a(n)%20=%20(d(n)%20-%20e(n))/sqrt(5)%20-%201.%20(3)%20To%20prove%20floor(x)%20=%20y%20is%20equivalent%20to%20proving%20that%20x%20-%20y%20lies%20in%20the%20half-open%20interval%20%5B0,%201).%20(4)%20The%20series%20%7Bs(n)%20=%20c1%20x%5En%20+%20c2%7D">{n >= 1} the Fibonacci numbers A000045. (2) (Binet form) F(n) = (d^n - e^n)/sqrt(5) with d = phi and e = 1 - phi, de = -1 and d + e = 1. It follows that a(n) = (d(n) - e(n))/sqrt(5) - 1. (3) To prove floor(x) = y is equivalent to proving that x - y lies in the half-open interval [0, 1). (4) The series {s(n) = c1 x^n + c2}{n >= 1}, with -1 < x < 0, and c1 and c2 positive constants, converges by oscillation with s(1) < s(3) < s(5) < ... < s(6) < s(4) < s(2). If follows that for any odd n, the open interval (s(n), s(n+1)) contains the subsequence {s(t)}_{t >= n + 2}. Using these prerequisites we can analyze the conjecture.
Using prerequisites (2) and (3) we see we must prove, for all n > 4, that d((d^(n-1) - e^(n-1))/sqrt(5) - 1) - (d^n - e^n)/sqrt(5) + 1 + c lies in the interval [0, 1). But de = -1, implying de^(n-1) = -e^(n-2). It follows that we must equivalently prove (for all n > 4) that E(n, c) = (e^(n-2) + e^n)/sqrt(5) + 1 - d + c = e^(n-2) (e^2 + 1)/sqrt(5) + e + c lies in [0, 1). Clearly, for any particular n, E(n, c) has extrema (maxima, minima) when c = 2*(1-d) and c = (1+d)*(1-d). Therefore, the proof is completed by using prerequisite (4). It suffices to verify E(5, 2*(1-d)) = 0, E(6, 2*(1-d)) = 0.236068, E(5, (1-d)*(1+d)) = 0.618034, E(6, (1-d)*(1+d)) = 0.854102, all lie in [0, 1).

a(n) can be shown to be the number of distinct nonempty matchings on a path with n vertices. (A matching is a collection of disjoint edges.) - Andrew Penland, Feb 14 2017
Also, for n > 3, the lexicographically earliest sequence of positive integers such that {phi*a(n)} is located strictly between {phi*a(n-1)} and {phi*a(n-2)}. - Ivan Neretin, Mar 23 2017

Number of sequences (e(1), ..., e(n-2)), 0 <= e(i) < i, such that there is no triple i < j < k with e(i) != e(j) <= e(k). [Martinez and Savage, 2.5]
Number of sequences (e(1), ..., e(n-2)), 0 <= e(i) < i, such that there is no triple i < j < k with e(i) >= e(j) <= e(k) and e(i) != e(k). [Martinez and Savage, 2.5]

a(n+2) is the length of the longest array whose local maximum element can be found in at most n reveals. See link to the puzzle by Alexander S. Kulikov. - Dmitry Kamenetsky, Aug 08 2020
a(n+2) is the number of nonempty subsets of {1,2,...,n} that contain no consecutive elements. For example, the a(6)=7 subsets of {1,2,3,4} are {1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {1,3}, {1,4} and {2,4}. - Muge Olucoglu, Mar 21 2021
a(n+3) is the number of allowed patterns of length n in the even shift (that is, a(n+3) is the number of binary words of length n in which there are an even number of 0s between any two occurrences of 1). For example, a(7)=12 and the 12 allowed patterns of length 4 in the even shift are 0000, 0001, 0010, 0011, 0100, 0110, 0111, 1000, 1001, 1100, 1110, 1111. - Zoran Sunic, Apr 06 2022
Conjecture: for k a positive odd integer, the sequence {a(k^n): n >= 1} is a strong divisibility sequence; that is, for n, m >= 1, gcd(a(k^n), a(k^m)) = a(k^gcd(n,m)). - Peter Bala, Dec 05 2022
In general, the sum of a second-order linear recurrence having signature (c,d) will be a third-order recurrence having a signature (c+1,d-c,-d). - Gary Detlefs, Jan 05 2023

Quoting Steven Finch: "The slopes of the 'critical parallelogram' are (1+sqrt(5))/2 [phi] and (1-sqrt(5))/2 [-1/phi]."
Essentially the same as A229780, A134972, A134945, A098317 and A002163. - R. J. Mathar, May 23 2014
Let W_n be the collection of all binary words of length n that do not contain two consecutive 0's. Let r_n be the ratio of the total number of 1's in W_n divided by the total number of letters in W_n. Then lim_{n->oo} r_n = 0.723606... Equivalently, lim_{n->oo} A004798(n)/(n*A000045(n+2)) = 0.723606... - Geoffrey Critzer, Feb 04 2022
The limiting frequency of the digit 0 in the base phi representation of real numbers in the range [0,1], where phi is the golden ratio (A001622) (Rényi, 1957). - Amiram Eldar, Mar 18 2025

Formula

G.f.: (4 + x)/(1 - 7*x + x^2).
a(n) = 7*a(n-1) - a(n-2) for n>1, with a(0)=4, a(1)=29.
a(n) = ((sqrt(5) + 1)^(4*n + 3) - (sqrt(5) - 1)^(4*n + 3))/(8*16^n).
a(n) = Fibonacci(4*n+4) + Fibonacci(4*n+2).
a(n) = 4*A004187(n+1) + A004187(n).
a(n) = 5*A003482(n) + 4 = 5*A081016(n) - 1.
a(n) = A002878(2*n+1) = A093960(2*n+3) = A001350(4*n+3) = A068397(4*n+3).
a(n+1)*a(n+k) - a(n)*a(n+k+1) = 15*Fibonacci(4*k). Example: for k=6, a(n+1)*a(n+6) - a(n)*a(n+7) = 15*Fibonacci(24) = 695520.
