On Sequences \(G_n\) satisfying \(G_n=(d+2)G_{n-1} - G_{n-2}\)
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 10 (2007) no. 8
In this note, we study a class of sequences $G_{n}$ satisfying $G_{n} = (d+2)G_{n-1} - G_{n-2}$. Note that the Fibonacci numbers $G_{n} = F_{2n}, n >1$ and $G_{n} = F_{2n+1}, n > 0$ occur when $d=1$ with suitable initial conditions. We present a general interpretation for this class of sequences in terms of ordered trees which we count by nodes and outdegrees. Further more, several other related integer sequences are also studied.
Keywords: skinny trees, outdegree, tilings, Fibonacci numbers, lattice paths
