COMMENTS
Let (a_n) be the sequence and (a_(n+1)) the sequence beginning at 1. Let B and iB be the binomial and inverse binomial transforms, respectively. Then B((a_n)) = A001108(n) (a(n)-th triangular number is a square); B((a_(n+1))) = A002315(n) (NSW Numbers); iB((a_(n+1))) = A096980(n). Note: a 2nd sequence generated by the same floretion is A057087 (Scaled Chebyshev U-polynomials evaluated at i. Generalized Fibonacci sequence.). As is often the case with two sequences corresponding to a single floretion, both satisfy the same recurrence relation.

FORMULA
a(n+1) = -(1/2)*(2-2*2^(1/2))^n*(-1+2^(1/2))-(1/2)*(2+2*2^(1/2))^n(-1-2^(1/2)); G.f.: x*(1+2*x)/(1-4*x-4*x^2).
a(n) = sum{k=0..n, (-1)^k*C(n-1, k)*(Pell(2n-2k)-Pell(2n-2k-1))}, n>0, where Pell(n) = A000129(n). - Paul Barry, Jun 07 2005
a(n+1) = ((3+sqrt18)(2+sqrt8)^n+(3-sqrt18)(2-sqrt8)^n)/6. - Al Hakanson (hawkuu(AT)gmail.com), Aug 15 2009, index corrected Jul 11 2012
a(n) = 2^(n-1) * A001333(n), n>0. - Ralf Stephan, Dec 02 2010
