a(n+1) gives diagonal sums of Riordan array (1/(1-x),x/(1-x)^3). - Paul Barry, Oct 11 2005
a(n+2) is the sum, over all Boolean n-strings, of the product of the lengths of the runs of 1. For example, the Boolean 7-string (0,1,1,0,1,1,1) has two runs of 1s. Their lengths, 2 and 3, contribute a product of 6 to a(9). The 8 Boolean 3-strings contribute to a(5) as follows: 000 (empty product), 001, 010, 100, 101 all contribute 1, 011 and 110 contribute 2, 111 contributes 3. - David Callan, Nov 29 2007
[a(n), a(n+1), a(n+2)], n > 0, = [0,1,0; 0,0,1; 1,-2,3]^n * [1,1,1]. - Gary W. Adamson, Mar 27 2008
Without the initial 1 and 1: 1, 2, 5, 12, 28, this is also the transform of 1 by the T_{1,0} transformation; see Choulet link. - Richard Choulet, Apr 11 2009
Without the first 1: transform of 1 by T_{0,0} transformation (see Choulet link). - Richard Choulet, Apr 11 2009
Starting (1, 2, 5, 12, ...) = INVERT transform of (1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...) and row sums of triangle A159974. - Gary W. Adamson, Apr 28 2009
a(n+1) is also the number of 321-avoiding separable permutations. (A permutation is separable if it avoids both 2413 and 3142.) - Vince Vatter, Sep 21 2009
a(n+1) is an eigensequence of the sequence array for (1,1,2,3,4,5,...). - Paul Barry, Nov 03 2010
Without the initial 1, a(n) = row sums of A182097(n)*A007318(n,k); i.e., a Triangular array T(n,k) multiplying the binomial (Pascal's) triangle by the Padovan sequence where a(0) = 1, a(1) = 0 and a(2) = 1. - Bob Selcoe, Jun 28 2013
a(n+1) is the top left entry of the n-th power of any of the 3 X 3 matrices [1, 1, 1; 0, 1, 1; 1, 0, 1] or [1, 1, 0; 1, 1, 1; 1, 0, 1] or [1, 1, 1; 1, 1, 0; 0, 1, 1] or [1, 0, 1; 1, 1, 0; 1, 1, 1]. - R. J. Mathar, Feb 03 2014
a(n) is the top left entry of the n-th power of the 3 X 3 matrix [1, 0, 1; 1, 1, 1; 0, 1, 1] or of the 3 X 3 matrix [1, 1, 0; 0, 1, 1; 1, 1, 1]. - R. J. Mathar, Feb 03 2014
Number of sequences (e(1), ..., e(n-1)), 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, 2.8] - Eric M. Schmidt, Jul 17 2017
a(n+1) is the number of words of length n over the alphabet {0,1,2} that do not contain the substrings 01 or 12 and do not start with a 2 and do not end with a 0. - Yiseth K. Rodríguez C., Sep 11 2020
