%N a(n) = 2^Fibonacci(n) - 1.

%C The recurrence can also be written a(n)+1 = (a(n-1)+1)*(a(n-2)+1) or log_p(a(n)+1) = log_p(a(n-1)+1) + log_p(a(n-2)+1), respectively. Setting a(1)=p-1 for any natural p>1, it follows that log_p(a(n)+1)=Fibonacci(n). Hence any other sequence p^Fibonacci(n)-1 could also serve as a valid solution to that recurrence, depending only on the value of the term a(1). - _Hieronymus Fischer_, Jun 27 2007

%C Written in binary, a(n) contains Fibonacci(n) 1's. Thus the sequence converted to base-2 is A007088(a(n)) = 0, 1, 1, 11, 111, 11111, 11111111, ... . - _Hieronymus Fischer_, Jun 27 2007

%C In general, if b(n) is defined recursively by b(0) = p, b(1) = q, b(n) = b(n-1)*b(n-2) + b(n-1) + b(n-2) for n >= 2 then b(n) = p^Fibonacci(n-1) * q^Fibonacci(n) - 1. - _Rahul Goswami_, Apr 15 2020

%C a(n) is also the numerator of the continued fraction [2^F(0), 2^F(1), 2^F(2), 2^F(3), ..., 2^F(n-2)] for n>0. For the denominator, see A005203. - _Chinmay Dandekar_ and _Greg Dresden_, Sep 19 2020
