Formula

a(n) = abs(A077986(n)) = A077849(n) - A077849(n-1) = |A077922(n)| + |A077922(n-1)| = Sum_{k=0..n} A077997(k). - Ralf Stephan, Feb 02 2004
a(n) = Sum_{m=1..n+1} Sum_{k=0..n-m+1} (Sum_{j=0..k} binomial(j,n-m-3*k+2*j+1) *binomial(k,j))*binomial(m+k-1,m-1). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Oct 11 2011
G.f. for sequence with 1 prepended: 1/(1 - Sum_{k>=0} x*(x+x^2+x^3)^k). - Joerg Arndt, Sep 30 2012
G.f.: Q(0)/2, where Q(k) = 1 + 1/(1- x*(4*k+2 + x+x^2)/(x*(4*k+4 + x+x^2) + 1/Q(k+1))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 04 2013
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + a(n-2) + a(n-3), where a(0) = 0, a(1)=1, a(2)=2. - Rigoberto Florez, Jan 23 2020
