Formula

G.f.: x^2*(3+x+2*x^2+2*x^3) / ( (1+x)*(x^2+1)*(x-1)^2 ). - R. J. Mathar, Dec 05 2011

From Wesley Ivan Hurt, May 24 2016: (Start)

a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-4) - a(n-5) for n>5.

a(n) = (8*n-7+i^(2*n)-i^(-n)-i^n)/4 where i=sqrt(-1).

a(2k) = A047398(k), a(2k-1) = A008586(k-1) for k>0. (End)

E.g.f.: (4 - cos(x) + 4*(x - 1)*sinh(x) + (4*x - 3)*cosh(x))/2. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, May 25 2016

Sum_{n>=2} (-1)^n/a(n) = 5*log(2)/8 + sqrt(2)*log(3-2*sqrt(2))/16 - (2-sqrt(2))*Pi/16. - Amiram Eldar, Dec 21 2021
