Formula

G.f.: x^2*(4+x+x^2+2*x^3) / ( (1+x)*(x^2+1)*(x-1)^2 ). - R. J. Mathar, Dec 07 2011

From Wesley Ivan Hurt, May 25 2016: (Start)

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

a(n) = (8*n-5+i^(2*n)-(2+i)*i^(-n)-(2-i)*i^n)/4 where i=sqrt(-1).

a(2k) = A047406(k), a(2k-1) = A047615(k). (End)

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

Sum_{n>=2} (-1)^n/a(n) = sqrt(2)*log(2+sqrt(2))/8 - (2-sqrt(2))*(Pi-log(2))/16. - Amiram Eldar, Dec 23 2021
