%N a(n) = 2^n*Lucas(n), where Lucas = A000032.

%C Number of ways to tile an n-bracelet with two types of colored squares and four types of colored dominoes.

%C Inverse binomial transform of even Lucas numbers (A014448).

%C From _L. Edson Jeffery_, Apr 25 2011: (Start)

%C Let A be the unit-primitive matrix (see [Jeffery])

%C A=A_(10,4)=

%C (0 0 0 0 1)

%C (0 0 0 2 0)

%C (0 0 2 0 1)

%C (0 2 0 2 0)

%C (2 0 2 0 1).

%C Then a(n)=(Trace(A^n)-1)/2. Also a(n)=Trace((2*A_(5,1))^n), where A_(5,1)=[(0,1); (1,1)] is also a unit-primitive matrix. (End)

%C Also the number of connected dominating sets in the n-sun graph for n >= 3. - _Eric W. Weisstein_, May 02 2017

%C Also the number of total dominating sets in the n-sun graph for n >= 3. - _Eric W. Weisstein_, Apr 27 2018
