%N a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 4*a(n-2), a(0)=1, a(1)=2.

%C Essentially the same as A085449.

%C Convergents to 2*golden ratio = (1+sqrt(5)).

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

%C The same sequence may be obtained by the following process. Starting a priori with the fraction 1/1, the numerators of fractions built according to the rule: add top and bottom to get the new bottom, add top and 5 times the bottom to get the new top. The limit of the sequence of fractions is sqrt(5). - _Cino Hilliard_, Sep 25 2005

%C a(n) is also the quasi-diagonal element A(i-1,i)=A(1,i-1) of matrix A(i,j) whose elements in first row A(1,k) and first column A(k,1) equal k-th Fibonacci Fib(k) and the generic element is the sum of adjacent (previous) in row and column minus the absolute value of their difference. - _Carmine Suriano_, May 13 2010

%C Equals INVERT transform of A006131: (1, 1, 5, 9, 29, 65, 181, ...). - _Gary W. Adamson_, Aug 12 2010

%C For positive n, a(n) equals the permanent of the n X n tridiagonal matrix with 2's along the three central diagonals. - _John M. Campbell_, Jul 19 2011

%C The numbers composing the denominators of the fractional limit to A134972. - _Seiichi Kirikami_, Mar 06 2012
