[Empirical] a(base,n) = a(base-1,n) + 7^(n-1) for base >= 3n-2; a(base,n) = a(base-1,n) + 7^(n-1)-2 when base = 3n-3.
The a(n) represent the number of n-move routes of a fairy chess piece starting in a given side square (m = 2, 4, 6 or 8) on a 3 X 3 chessboard. This fairy chess piece behaves like a king on the eight side and corner squares but on the central square the king goes crazy and turns into a red king, see A179596. For the side squares the 512 red kings lead to 47 different red king sequences, see the cross-references for some examples.
The sequence above corresponds to four A[5] vectors with the decimal [binary] values 367 [1,0,1,1,0,1,1,1,1], 463 [1,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,1], 487 [1,1,1,1,0,0,1,1,1] and 493 [1,1,1,1,0,1,1,0,1]. These vectors lead for the corner squares to A179596 and for the central square to A179597. Inverse binomial transform of A154244. (End)

a(n) gives the length of the word obtained after n steps with the substitution rule 0->11111, 1->111110, starting from 0. The number of 1's and 0's of this word is 5*a(n-1) and 5*a(n-2), resp.
a(n) / a(n-1) converges to (5 + (3 * sqrt(5))) / 2 as n approaches infinity. (5 + (3 * sqrt(5))) / 2 can also be written as phi^2 + (2 * phi), phi^3 + phi, phi + sqrt(5) + 2, (3 * phi) + 1, (3 * phi^2) - 2, phi^4 - 1 and (5 + (3 * (L(n) / F(n)))) / 2, where L(n) is the n-th Lucas number and F(n) is the n-th Fibonacci number as n approaches infinity. - Ross La Haye, Aug 18 2003, on another version Pisano period lengths: 1, 3, 3, 6, 1, 3, 24, 12, 9, 3, 10, 6, 56, 24, 3, 24,288, 9, 18, 6, ... - R.

COMMENTS
The a(n) represent the number of n-move routes of a fairy chess piece starting in a given corner square (m = 1, 3, 7 or 9) on a 3 X 3 chessboard. This fairy chess piece behaves like a king on the eight side and corner squares but on the center square the king goes crazy and turns into a red king.
On a 3 X 3 chessboard there are 2^9 = 512 ways to go crazy on the center square (off the center the piece behaves like a normal king). The red king is represented by the A[5] vector in the fifth row of the adjacency matrix A, see the Maple program and A180140. For the corner squares the 512 red kings lead to 47 different red king sequences, see the overview of the red king sequences. The sequence above corresponds to four A[5] vectors with decimal [binary] values 367 [101 101 111], 463 [111 001 111], 487 [111 100 111] and 493 [111 101 101]. These vectors lead for the side squares to A126473 and for the central square to A179597. This sequence belongs to a family of sequences with g.f. (1+x)/(1 - 2*x - (k+8)*x^2 - 2*k*x^3). Red king sequences that are members of this family are A083424 (k=0), A179604 (k=1), A179600 (k=2), A179596 (k=3; this sequence) and A086346 (k=4). Other members of this family are A015528 (k=5) and A179608 (k=-4).

COMMENTS
Let f = floor and c = ceiling. For x > 1, define four sequences as functions of x, as follows:
p1(0) = f(x), p1(n) = f(x*p1(n-1));
p2(0) = f(x), p2(n) = c(x*p2(n-1)) if n is odd and p2(n) = f(x*p1(n-1)) if n is even;
p3(0) = c(x), p3(n) = f(x*p3(n-1)) if n is odd and p3(n) = c(x*p3(n-1)) if n is even;
p4(0) = c(x), p4(n) = c(x*p4(n-1)).
The present sequence is given by a(n) = p3(n).
Following the terminology at A214986, call the four sequences power floor, power floor-ceiling, power ceiling-floor, and power ceiling sequences. In the table below, a sequence is identified with an A-numbered sequence if they appear to agree except possibly for initial terms. Notation: S(t)=sqrt(t), r = (1+S(5))/2 = golden ratio, and Limit = limit of p3(n)/p2(n). x ......p1..... p2..... p3..... p4.......Limit
...
Properties of p1, p2, p3, p4:
(1) If x > 2, the terms of p2 and p3 interlace: p2(0) < p3(0) < p2(1) < p3(1) < p2(2) < p3(2)... Also, p1(n) <= p2(n) <= p3(n) <= p4(n) <= p1(n+1) for all x>0 and n>=0.
(2) If x > 2, the limits L(x) = limit(p/x^n) exist for the four functions p(x), and L1(x) <= L2(x) <= L3(x) <= L4 (x). See the Mathematica programs for plots of the four functions; one of them also occurs in the Odlyzko and Wilf article, along with a discussion of the special case x = 3/2.
(3) Suppose that x = u + sqrt(v) where v is a nonsquare positive integer. If u = f(x) or u = c(x), then p1, p2, p3, p4 are linear recurrence sequences. Is this true for sequences p1, p2, p3, p4 obtained from x = (u + sqrt(v))^q for every positive integer q?
(4) Suppose that x is a Pisot-Vijayaraghavan number. Must p1, p2, p3, p4 then be linearly recurrent? If x is also a quadratic irrational b + c*sqrt(d), must the four limits L(x) be in the field Q(sqrt(d))?
(5) The Odlyzko and Wilf article (page 239) raises three interesting questions about the power ceiling function; it appears that they remain open.
FORMULA
a(n) = floor(r*a(n-1)) if n is odd and a(n) = ceiling(r*a(n-1)) if n is even, where a(0) = ceiling(r), r = (golden ratio)^4 = (7 + sqrt(5))/2.
a(n) = 6*a(n-1) + 6*a(n-2) - a(n-3).
G.f.: (7 + 5*x - x^2)/((1 + x)*(1 - 7*x + x^2)).
a(n) = (10*(-2)^n+(10+3*sqrt(5))*(7-3*sqrt(5))^(n+2)+(10-3*sqrt(5))*(7+3*sqrt(5))^(n+2))/(90*2^n). - Bruno Berselli, Nov 14 2012
EXAMPLE
a(0) = ceiling(r) = 7, where r = ((1+sqrt(5))/2)^4 = 6.8...; a(1) = floor(7*r) = 47; a(2) = ceiling(47) = 323.

COMMENTS
The a(n) represent the number of n-move routes of a fairy chess piece starting in the central square (m = 5) on a 3 X 3 chessboard. This fairy chess piece behaves like a king on the eight side and corner squares but on the central square the king goes crazy and turns into a red king, see A179596. For the central square the 512 red kings lead to 47 different red king sequences, see the cross-references for some examples.
The sequence above corresponds to four A[5] vectors with decimal [binary] values 367 [1,0,1,1,0,1,1,1,1], 463 [1,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,1], 487 [1,1,1,1,0,0,1,1,1] and 493 [1,1,1,1,0,1,1,0,1]. These vectors lead for the corner squares to A179596 and for the side squares to A126473. This sequence belongs to a family of sequences with g.f. (1 + (k+2)*x + (2*k-4)*x^2)/(1 - 2*x - (k+8)*x^2 - (2*k)*x^3). Red king sequences that are members of this family are A179607 (k=0), A179605 (k=1), A179601 (k=2), A179597 (k=3; this sequence) and A086348 (k=4). Another member of this family is A179609 (k = -4).
