Number of compositions (ordered partitions) into parts 2 and 3. - Joerg Arndt, Aug 21 2013
a(n) is the top left entry of the n-th power of any of the 3X3 matrices [0, 1, 1; 0, 0, 1; 1, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0; 1, 0, 1; 1, 0, 0], [0, 1, 1; 1, 0, 0; 0, 1, 0] or [0, 0, 1; 1, 0, 0; 1, 1, 0]. - R. J. Mathar, Feb 03 2014
Conjectured values of d(n), the dimension of a Z-module in MZV(conv). See the Waldschmidt link. - Michael Somos, Mar 14 2014
Shannon et al. (2006) call these the Van der Laan numbers. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jan 11 2022
