From Klaus Purath, May 11 2024: (Start)
For any two consecutive terms (a(n), a(n+1)) = (x,y): x^2 - 4xy + y^2 = -2 = A028872(-1). In general, the following applies to all sequences (t) satisfying t(i) = 4t(i-1) - t(i-2) with t(0) = 1 and two consecutive terms (x,y): x^2 - 4xy + y^2 = A028872(t(1)-2). This includes and interprets the Feb 04 2014 comments here and on A001075 by Colin Barker and the Dec 12 2012 comment on A001353 by Max Alekseyev. By analogy to this, for three consecutive terms (x,y,z) y^2 - xz = A028872(t(1)-2). This includes and interprets the Jul 10 2021 comment on A001353 by Bernd Mulansky.
If (t) is a sequence satisfying t(k) = 3t(k-1) + 3t(k-2) - t(k-3) or t(k) = 4t(k-1) - t(k-2) without regard to initial values and including this sequence itself, then a(n) = (t(k+2n+1) + t(k))/(t(k+n+1) + t(k+n)) always applies, as long as t(k+n+1) + t(k+n) != 0 for integer k and n >= 1. (End)
Binomial transform of 1, 0, 2, 4, 12, ... (A028860 without the initial -1) and reverse binomial transform of 1, 2, 6, 24, 108, ... (A094433 without the initial 1). - Klaus Purath, Sep 09 2024

If a(n) white balls and a(n+1) black balls are mixed in a bag, and a pair of balls is drawn without replacement, the probability that one ball of each color is drawn is exactly 1/3. These are the only integers for which the probability is 1/3. For example, if there are 20 white balls and 76 black balls, the probability of drawing one of each is (20/96)*(76/95) + (76/96)*(20/95) = 1/3. - Elliott Line, May 13 2022

The lower principal and intermediate convergents to 3^(1/2), beginning with 1/1, 3/2, 5/3, 12/7, 19/11, form a strictly increasing sequence; essentially, numerators=A143643 and denominators=A005246. - Clark Kimberling, Aug 27 2008
This sequence is a particular case of the following situation: a(0)=1, a(1)=a, a(2)=b with the recurrence relation a(n+3)=(a(n+2)*a(n+1)+q)/a(n) where q is given in Z to have Q=(a*b^2+q*b+a+q)/(a*b) itself in Z. The g.f. is f: f(z)=(1+a*z+(b-Q)*z^2+(a*b+q-a*Q)*z^3)/(1-Q*z^2+z^4); so we have the linear recurrence: a(n+4)=Q*a(n+2)-a(n). The general form of a(n) is given by: a(2*m) = Sum_{p=0..floor(m/2)} (-1)^p*binomial(m-p,p)*Q^(m-2*p) + (b-Q)*Sum_{p=0..floor((m-1)/2)} (-1)^p*binomial(m-1-p,p)*Q^(m-1-2*p) and a(2*m+1) = a*Sum_{p=0..floor(m/2)} (-1)^p*binomial(m-p,p)*Q^(m-2*p) + (a*b+q-a*Q)*Sum_{p=0..floor((m-1)/2)} (-1)^p*binomial(m-1-p,p)*Q^(m-1-2*p). - Richard Choulet, Feb 24 2010
a(n) for n > 1 are the integer square roots of (floor(m^2/3)+1), where the values of m are given by A143643.  Also see A082630. - Richard R. Forberg, Nov 14 2013
The a(n) = (1 + a(n-1)*a(n-2))/a(n-3) recursion has the Laurent property. If a(0), a(1), a(2) are variables, then a(n) is a Laurent polynomial (a rational function with a monomial denominator). - Michael Somos, Feb 27 2019

Suppose that p=p(0)*x^n+p(1)*x^(n-1)+...+p(n-1)*x+p(n) is a polynomial of positive degree and that Q is a sequence of polynomials: q(k,x)=t(k,0)*x^k+t(k,1)*x^(k-1)+...+t(k,k-1)*x+t(k,k), for k=0,1,2,... The Q-downstep of p is the polynomial given by D(p)=p(0)*q(n-1,x)+p(1)*q(n-2,x)+...+p(n-1)*q(0,x)+p(n).

Since degree(D(p))

Example: let p(x)=2*x^3+3*x^2+4*x+5 and q(k,x)=(x+1)^k.

D(p)=2(x+1)^2+3(x+1)+4(1)+5=2x^2+7x+14

D(D(p))=2(x+1)+7(1)+14=2x+23

D(D(D(p)))=2(1)+23=25;

the Q-residue of p is 25.

We may regard the sequence Q of polynomials as the triangular array formed by coefficients:

t(0,0)

t(1,0)....t(1,1)

t(2,0)....t(2,1)....t(2,2)

t(3,0)....t(3,1)....t(3,2)....t(3,3)

and regard p as the vector (p(0),p(1),...,p(n)). If P is a sequence of polynomials [or triangular array having (row n)=(p(0),p(1),...,p(n))], then the Q-residues of the polynomials form a numerical sequence.

Following are examples in which Q is the triangle given by t(i,j)=1 for 0<=i<=j:

Changing the notation slightly leads to the Mathematica program below and the following formulation for the Q-downstep of p: first, write t(n,k) as q(n,k). Define r(k)=Sum{q(k-1,i)*r(k-1-i) : i=0,1,...,k-1} Then row n of D(p) is given by v(n)=Sum{p(n,k)*r(n-k) : k=0,1,...,n}.

			First five rows of Q, coefficients of Fibonacci polynomials (A049310):
1
1...0
1...0...1
1...0...2...0
1...0...3...0...1
To obtain a(4)=15, downstep four times:
D(x^4+3*x^2+1)=(x^3+x^2+x+1)+3(x+1)+1: (1,1,4,5) [coefficients]
DD(x^4+3*x^2+1)=D(1,1,4,5)=(1,2,11)
DDD(x^4+3*x^2+1)=D(1,2,11)=(1,14)
DDDD(x^4+3*x^2+1)=D(1,14)=15.

Consider the matrix M=[1,1,0; 1,3,1; 0,1,1]; characteristic polynomial of M is x^3 - 5*x^2 + 5*x - 1. Use (M^n)[1,1] to define the recursion a(0) = 1, a(1) = 1, a(2) = 2, for n>2 a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 5*a(n-2) + a(n-3).
a(n+1)/a(n) converges to 2 + sqrt(3) as n goes to infinity, the largest root of the characteristic polynomial. a(n) = A061278(n) + 1; (M^n)[1,2] = A001353(n); (M^n)[1,3] = A061278(n-1) for n>0; all with the same recursive properties.

a(n) is also a sequence with the property that the difference between the sum and product of two consecutive terms is equal to the square of the difference between those terms, i.e., a(n)*a(n+1) - (a(n)+ a(n+1)) = (a(n) - a(n + 1))^2.

Let b(n,x) = Sum_{k = 0..n} binomial(n+k,2*k)*x^k denote the Morgan-Voyce polynomials of A085478. This triangle lists the coefficients (in ascending powers of x) of the related polynomial sequence R(n,x) := (1/2)*b(n,2*x) + 1/2. Several sequences already in the database are of the form (R(n,x))n>=0 for a fixed value of x. These include A101265 (x = 1), A011900 (x = 2), A182432 (x = 3), A054318 (x = 4) as well as signed versions of A133872 (x = -1), A109613(x = -2), A146983 (x = -3) and A084159 (x = -4).

The polynomials R(n,x) factorize in the ring Z[x] as R(n,x) = P(n,x)*P(n+1,x) for n >= 1: explicitly, P(2*n,x) = 1/2*(b(2*n,2*x) + 1)/b(n,2*x) and P(2*n+1,x) = b(n,2*x). The coefficients of P(n,x) occur in several tables in the database, although without the connection to the Morgan-Voyce polynomials being noted - see A211956 for more details. In terms of T(n,x), the Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind, we have P(2*n,x) = T(2*n,u) and P(2*n+1,x) = 1/u * T(2*n+1,u), where u = sqrt((x+2)/2). Hence R(n,x) = 1/u * T(n,u) * T(n+1,u).

Removing the first column from the triangle produces the Riordan array (x/(1-x)^3, 2*x/(1-x)^2).
The row polynomials R(n,x) := 1/2*b(n,2*x) + 1/2 = 1 + x*Sum_{k = 1..n} binomial(n+k,2*k)*(2*x)^(k-1).
Recurrence equation: R(n,x) = 2*(1+x)*R(n-1,x) - R(n-2,x) - x with initial conditions R(0,x) = 1, R(1,x) = 1+x.
Another recurrence is R(n,x)*R(n-2,x) = R(n-1,x)*(R(n-1,x) + x).
With P(n,x) as defined in the Comments section we have (x+2)/x - {Sum_{k = 0..2n} 1/R(k,x)}^2 = 2/(x*P(2*n+1,x)^2); (x+2)/x - {Sum_{k = 0..2n+1} 1/R(k,x)}^2 = (x+2)/(x*P(2*n+2,x)^2); consequently Sum_{k >= 0} 1/R(k,x) = sqrt((x+2)/x) for either x > 0 or x <= -2.
Row sums R(n,1) = A101265(n+1); Alt. row sums R(n,-1) = A133872(n+1);
R(n,2) = A011900(n); R(n,-2) = (-1)^n * A109613(n); R(n,3) = A182432;
R(n,-3) = (-1)^n * A146983(n); R(n,4) = A054318(n+1); R(n,-4) = (-1)^n * A084159(n).

The non-linear recurrence equation a(n)*a(n-2) = a(n-1)*(a(n-1) + r) with initial conditions a(0) = 1, a(1) = 1 + r has the solution a(n) = 1/2 + (1/2)*Sum_{k = 0..n} (2*r)^k*binomial(n+k,2*k) = 1/2 + b(n,2*r)/2, where b(n,x) are the Morgan-Voyce polynomials of A085478. The recurrence produces sequences A101265 (r = 1), A011900 (r = 2) and A054318 (r = 4), as well as signed versions of A133872 (r = -1), A109613 (r = -2), A146983 (r = -3) and A084159(r = -4).
