Formula

From Wesley Ivan Hurt, May 27 2016: (Start)

G.f.: x*(1+2*x+x^3)/( (x-1)^2*(1+x^2) ).

a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-2) + 2*a(n-3) - a(n-4) for n>4.

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

a(2k) = A047535(k), a(2k-1) = A047452(k). (End)

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

Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = (2*sqrt(2)+1)*Pi/16 + log(2)/8. - Amiram Eldar, Dec 24 2021
