Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} b(k)*b(n-k), with b(k) = A002605(k).

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n-k+1, 1)*binomial(n-k, k)*2^(n-k).

a(n) = ((n+1)*U(n+1) + 2*(n+2)*U(n))/6, with U(n) = A002605(n), n >= 0.

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

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor((n+2)/2)} k*binomial(n-k+2, k)2^(n-k+1). - Paul Barry, Oct 15 2004
