a(n+3) is the number of n-bit sequences that avoid 010. Example: For n=4 the 12 sequences are all 4-bit sequences except 0100, 0101, 0010, 1010. - David Callan, Mar 25 2004
a(n+2) is the number of compositions (ordered partitions) of n where no two adjacent parts are != 1, see example. - Joerg Arndt, Jan 26 2013
a(n+1) is the number of compositions of n avoiding the part 2. - Joerg Arndt, Jul 13 2014
Number of different positive braids with n crossings of 3 strands.
This is a_2(n) in the Doroslovacki reference. Note that there is a typo in the paper in the formula for a_2(n): the upper bound in the inner sum should be "n-i" not "i-1". - Max Alekseyev, Jun 26 2007
a(n) is the number of peakless Motzkin paths of length n-1 with no UHH...HD's starting at level > 0 (here n > 0 and U=(1,1), H=(1,0), D=(1,-1)). Example: a(5)=7 because from all 8 peakless Motzkin paths of length 5 (see A004148) only UUHDD does not qualify. - Emeric Deutsch, Sep 13 2004
Equals the INVERT transform of (1, 0, 1, 1, 1, ...); equivalent to a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-3) + a(n-4) + ... - Gary W. Adamson, Apr 27 2009
a(n) is the number of length n-1 words on {0,1} such that each string of 1's is followed by a string of at least two 0's. For example, a(5) = 4 because we have: 0000, 0100, 1000, and 1100. - Geoffrey Critzer, Aug 09 2013
a(n+1) is the top left entry of the n-th power of any of the 3 X 3 matrices [1, 1, 0; 0, 1, 1; 1, 0, 0] or [1, 0, 1; 1, 1, 0; 0, 1, 0] or [1, 1, 0; 0, 0, 1; 1, 0, 1] or [1, 0, 1; 1, 0, 0; 0, 1, 1]. - R. J. Mathar, Feb 03 2014
For n >= 2, a(n) is the number of (n-2)-length binary words with no isolated zeros. - Milan Janjic, Mar 07 2015
Apart from the first three terms, the total number of bargraphs of semiperimeter n of height at most two for n >= 2 starts 1, 2, 4, 7, 12, ... - Arnold Knopfmacher, Nov 02 2016
Number of DD-equivalence classes of Łukasiewicz paths. Łukasiewicz paths are DD-equivalent iff the positions of pattern DD are identical in these paths. - Sergey Kirgizov, Apr 08 2018
From Gus Wiseman, Nov 25 2019: (Start)
For n > 0, also the number of subsets of {1, ..., n - 3} such that if x and x + 2 are both in the subset, then so is x + 1. For example, the a(3) = 1 through a(7) = 12 subsets are:
  {}  {}   {}     {}       {}
      {1}  {1}    {1}      {1}
           {2}    {2}      {2}
           {1,2}  {3}      {3}
                  {1,2}    {4}

The two-dimensional version, which counts sets of pairs where, if two pairs are separated by graph-distance 2, then the intermediate pair or pairs are also in the set, is A329871. - Gus Wiseman, Nov 30 2019
a(n+1) is the number of ways to tile a strip of length n with squares, dominoes, and tetrominoes, where the first tile cannot be a domino. - Greg Dresden and Myanna Nash, Aug 18 2020
