A120562 Sum of binomial coefficients binomial(i+j, i) modulo 2 over all pairs (i,j) of positive integers satisfying 3i+j=n. 13

%I #60 Mar 22 2023 08:15:46

%S 1,1,1,2,1,2,2,3,1,3,2,3,2,4,3,5,1,4,3,4,2,5,3,5,2,5,4,6,3,7,5,8,1,6,

%N Sum of binomial coefficients binomial(i+j, i) modulo 2 over all pairs (i,j) of positive integers satisfying 3i+j=n.

%C a(n) is the number of 'vectors' (..., e_k, e_{k-1}, ..., e_0) with e_k in {0,1,3} such that Sum_{k} e_k 2^k = n. a(2^n-1) = F(n+1)*a(2^{k+1}+j) + a(j) = a(2^k+j) + a(2^{k-1}+j) if 2^k > 4j. This sequence corresponds to the pair (3,1) as Stern's diatomic sequence [A002487] corresponds to (2,1) and Gould's sequence [A001316] corresponds to (1,1). There are many interesting similarities to A000119, the number of representations of n as a sum of distinct Fibonacci numbers.

%C A120562 can be generated from triangle A177444. Partial sums of A120562 = A177445. - _Gary W. Adamson_, May 08 2010

%C The Ca1 and Ca2 triangle sums, see A180662 for their definitions, of Sierpinski's triangle A047999 equal this sequence. Some A120562(2^n-p) sequences, 0 <= p <= 32, lead to known sequences, see the crossrefs. - _Johannes W. Meijer_, Jun 05 2011
