Pisano period lengths: 1, 1, 3, 2, 8, 3, 48, 2, 3, 8, 110, 6, 168, 48, 24, 4, 8, 3, 45, 8, ... - R. J. Mathar, Aug 10 2012
This is the Lucas sequence U(5,-2). - Bruno Berselli, Jan 08 2013
For n > 0, a(n) equals the number of words of length n-1 over {0,1,...,6} in which 0 and 1 avoid runs of odd lengths. - Milan Janjic, Jan 08 2017
FORMULA
a(n) = 5*a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) with n > 1, a(0)=0, a(1)=1.
From Stefano Spezia, Sep 07 2025: (Start)
a(n) = (((5 + sqrt(33))/2)^n - ((5 - sqrt(33))/2)^n)/sqrt(33).
E.g.f.: 2*exp(5*x/2)*sinh(sqrt(33)*x/2)/sqrt(33). (End)
