Number of walks of length 2n+5 in the path graph P_6 from one end to the other one. Example: a(1)=5 because in the path ABCDEF we have ABABCDEF, ABCBCDEF, ABCDCDEF, ABCDEDEF and ABCDEFEF. - Emeric Deutsch, Apr 02 2004
Since a(n) is the binomial transform of A006054 from formula (3.63) in the Witula-Slota-Warzynski paper, it follows that a(n)=A(n;1)*(B(n;-1)-C(n;-1))-B(n;1)*B(n;-1)+C(n;1)*(A(n;-1)-B(n;-1)+C(n;-1)), where A(n;1)=A077998(n), B(n;1)=A006054(n+1), C(n;1)=A006054(n), A(n;-1)=A121449(n), B(n+1;-1)=-A085810(n+1), C(n;-1)=A215404(n) and A(n;d), B(n;d), C(n;d), n in N, d in C, denote the quasi-Fibonacci numbers defined and discussed in comments in A121449 and in the cited paper. - Roman Witula, Aug 09 2012

With offset -4 this sequence 6, 1, 0, 0, 1, 5, ... appears in the formula for the n-th power of the 3 X 3 tridiagonal Matrix M_3 = Matrix([1,1,0], [1,2,1], [0,1,2]) from A332602: (M_3)^n = a(n-2)*(M_3)^2 - (6*a(n-3) - a(n-4))*M_3 + a(n-3)*1_3, with the 3 X 3 unit matrix 1_3, for n >= 0. Proof from Cayley-Hamilton: (M_3)^n = 5*(M_3)^3 - 6*M_3 + 1_3 (see A332602 for the characteristic polynomial Phi(3, x)), and the recurrence (M_3)^n = M_3*(M_3)^(n-1). For (M_3)^n[1,1] = 2*a(n-2) - 5*a(n-3) + a(n-4), for n >= 0, see A080937(n).
The formula for a(n) in terms of r = rho(7) = A160389 given below shows that a(n)/a(n-1) converges to rho(7)^2 = A116425 = 3.2469796... for n -> infinity. This is because r - 2/r = 0.692..., and r - 1 - 1/r = 0.137... .

From Svjetlan Feretic, Jun 01 2013: (Start)
A three-choice path is a path whose steps lie in the set {(1,1), (1,0), (1,-1)}.
The paths under consideration "live" in a corridor like 0<=y<=5. Thus, the ordinate of a vertex of a path can take six values (0,1,2,3,4,5), but the height of the corridor is five.
a(1)=1 is the number of paths with zero steps, a(2)=2 is the number of paths with one step, a(3)=5 is the number of paths with two steps, ...
Narrower corridors produce A000012, A000079, A000129, A001519, A057960. An infinitely wide corridor would produce A005773.

Diagonal sums of A114164. - Paul Barry, Nov 15 2005
C(n):= a(n)*(-1)^n appears in the following formula for the nonpositive powers of rho*sigma, where rho:=2*cos(Pi/7) and sigma:=sin(3*Pi/7)/sin(Pi/7) = rho^2-1 are the ratios of the smaller and larger diagonal length to the side length in a regular 7-gon (heptagon). See the Steinbach reference where the basis  <1,rho,sigma> is used in an extension of the rational field. (rho*sigma)^(-n) = C(n) + B(n)*rho + A(n)*sigma,n>=0, with B(n)= A181880(n-2)*(-1)^n, and A(n)= A116423(n+1)*(-1)^(n+1). For the nonnegative powers see A120757(n), |A122600(n-1)| and A181879(n), respectively. See also a comment under A052547.
a(n) is also the number of bi-wall directed polygons with n cells. (The definition of bi-wall directed polygons is given in the article on A122737.)

From Roman Witula, Aug 08 2012: (Start)
We have a(n)=A(n;2), where A(n;2), B(n;2) and C(n;2) are the special cases of so-called quasi-Fibonacci numbers A(n;d), B(n;d), and C(n;d) for the value of argument d=2 - for details see Witula's comments to A121449 or the paper of Witula-Slota-Warzynski's. The sequences A(n;2), B(n;2) and C(n;2) are defined by the following system of recurrence equations:
A(0;2)=1, B(0;2)=C(0;2)=0,
A(n+1;2)=A(n;2)+4*B(n;2)-2*C(n;2), B(n+1;2)=2*A(n;2)+B(n;2), and C(n+1;2)=2*B(n;2)-C(n;2).
We note that A(n;1)=A077998(n), B(n;1)=A006054(n+1), and C(n;1)=A006054(n). We know (see formulas (3.61-63) in Witula et al.'s paper) that the sequences: (-2)^(-n)*(A(n;1)*(A(n;2)-C(n;2))-B(n;1)*(B(n;2)+C(n;2))+C(n;1)*B(n;2)), (-2)^(-n)*(-A(n;1)*C(n;2)+B(n;1)*(A(n;2)-C(n;2))-C(n;1)*(B(n;2)-C(n;2))), and (-2)^(-n)*(A(n;1)*(B(n;2)-C(n;2))-B(n;1)*B(n;2)+C(n;1)*(A(n;2)-B(n;2)+C(n;2))) are the binomial transforms of the sequences (-2)^(-n)*A(n;1), (-2)^(-n)*B(n;1), and (-2)^(-n)*C(n;1) respectively. Moreover the elements of the sequences A(n;1/2)=2^(-n)*A052975, B(n;1/2)=2^(-n)*A094789, and C(n;1/2) could be described by certain convolutions type identities for the elements of A(n;2), B(n;2), and C(n;2) (see identities (3.58-60) in Witula et al.'s paper).

We have a(n)=C(n;-1), A121449(n)=A(n;-1), A085810(n+1)=-B(n+1;-1), where A(n;d), B(n;d), and C(n;d), n in N, d in C, are so-called quasi-Fibonacci numbers defined and discussed in the comments to A121449 and in Witula-Slota-Warzynski's paper. It follows from formulas (3.47-49) in this paper that the value of A(n;1/3), B(n;1/3) and C(n;1/3) could be obtained from special convolution type identities for sequences a(n), A121449, and A085810.

We have a(n)=A(n;3), where A(n;d), n=1,2,..., d in C denote one of the three quasi-Fibonacci numbers defined in the comments to A121449 and in the Witula-Slota-Warzynski paper. The remaining two "conjugate" sequences B(n;3) and C(n;3) can be obtained from the following system of recurrence equations: A(0;3)=1, B(0;3)=C(0;3)=0, A(n+1;3)=A(n;3)+6*B(n;3)-3*C(n;3), B(n+1;3)=3*A(n;3)+B(n;3), C(n+1;3)=3*B(n;3)-2*C(n;3). These sequences are also connected by very intriguing convolution type relations (in some sense limiting in the nature) - see identities (3.53-55) and the identities (3.47-49) (the last ones for the value d=3) in the cited paper. We note that each of the three numbers a(3*n), a(3*n+1) and a(3*n+2) is divided by 7^n for every n=0,1,..., which follows easily from recurrence relation for the sequence a(n). - Roman Witula, Aug 11 2012

We have a(n)=C(n;3), where C(n;d), n=1,2,..., d in C, denote one of the quasi-Fibonacci numbers defined in the comments to A121449 and in the Witula-Slota-Warzynski paper. Its conjugate sequences A(n;3) and B(n;3) are discussed in A121458 and A215492, respectively. Similarly as in A121458, we deduce that each of the elements a(3*n), a(3*n+1), a(3*n+2) are divisible by 9*7^n for every n=0,1,... . Some additional facts connecting all three sequences a(n), A121458, and A215492 are given in the comments to A121458.

			We have a(5)=7*a(2), a(4)=21*a(2), a(4)=3*a(5), a(6)=21*a(4), a(7)=14*a(4), 3*a(7)=2*a(6), a(8)-a(9)=7*a(5), a(9)=21*a(6), 2*a(9)=63*a(7), a(12)=455*a(9) - especially the values and the relations connecting with a(8) and a(9) are very attractive.
