Comments

a(n)=2^5=32 for n>=5. We observe that this sequence is the transform of A171418 by T such that: T(u_0,u_1,u_2,u_3,u_4,u_5,...)=(u_0,u_0+u_1,u_1+u_2,u_2+u_3,u_3+u_4,...).

Also continued fraction expansion of (229657824-sqrt(257))/197139199. - Bruno Berselli, Sep 23 2011

Examples

			a(4) = C(6,4-0)+C(6,4-2)+C(6,4-4) = 15+15+1 = 31.
