Formula

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

G.f.: x*(2+2*x+2*x^2+x^3+x^4) / ((x-1)^2*(1+x+x^2+x^3)).

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

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

a(2k) = A047535(k), a(2k-1) = A016825(k-1) for k>0. (End)

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

Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = (sqrt(2)+1)*Pi/16 - sqrt(2)*log(2*sqrt(2)+3)/16. - Amiram Eldar, Dec 25 2021
