Vec((-16-96*x^2-16*x^4)/((1+x)^2*(x-1)^3) + O(x^100)) \\ Colin Barker, Jan 26 2016

Formula

a(n) = A174683(A043547(n+1)).

a(2n) = a(2n+1) = A017114(n).

From R. J. Mathar, Dec 02 2010: (Start)

a(n) = a(n-1) +2*a(n-2) -2*a(n-3) -a(n-4) +a(n-5).

G.f.: ( -16-96*x^2-16*x^4 ) / ( (1+x)^2*(x-1)^3 ). (End)

From Colin Barker, Jan 26 2016: (Start)

a(n) = 8*(2*n^2+2*(-1)^n*n+2*n+(-1)^n+1).

a(n) = 16*n^2+32*n+16 for n even.

a(n) = 16*n^2 for n odd. (End)

a(n) = (8*floor(n/2)+4)^2. - Bruno Berselli, Jan 26 2016
