Formula

G.f.: x^2*(2+3*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 26 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^(1-n)+i^(1+n))/4 where i=sqrt(-1).

a(2k) = A130824(k) k>0, a(2k-1) = A047615(k). (End)

E.g.f.: (4 - sin(x) + (4*x - 3)*sinh(x) + 4*(x - 1)*cosh(x))/2. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, May 27 2016

a(n) = (8*n-7-cos(n*Pi)-2*sin(n*Pi/2))/4. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Oct 05 2017

Sum_{n>=2} (-1)^n/a(n) = (sqrt(2)-1)*Pi/16 + (4-sqrt(2))*log(2)/16 + sqrt(2)*log(2+sqrt(2))/8. - Amiram Eldar, Dec 21 2021
