A123015 Grow a binary tree using the following rules. Initially there is a single node labeled 1. At each step we add 1 to all labels less than 3. If a node has label 3 and zero or one descendants we add a new descendant labeled 1. Sequence gives sum of all labels at step n. 1

%N Grow a binary tree using the following rules. Initially there is a single node labeled 1. At each step we add 1 to all labels less than 3. If a node has label 3 and zero or one descendants we add a new descendant labeled 1. Sequence gives sum of all labels at step n.

%C An analog of Fibonacci's rabbits. The behavior of the node is given by its age. A node of age 0 or 1 grows and one of age 2 or 3 produces a new node. - _Christian G. Bower_, Nov 13 2006

%F a(n) = a(n-3)+a(n-4)+3. - _Ralf Stephan_, Nov 12 2006

%F G.f.: (1+x+x^2)/(1-x-x^3+x^5). - _Christian G. Bower_, Nov 13 2006
