Vec((x^2-2*x-1)/((x+1)*(x^2+2*x-1))+O(x^31)) \\ Bruno Berselli, Apr 14 2012
Formula
G.f.: (x^2-2*x-1)/((x+1)*(x^2+2*x-1)).
a(n) = (1+sqrt(2))^n + (1-sqrt(2))^n - (-1)^n = A002203(n) - (-1)^n.
a(n) = a(n-1) + 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3) with a(0)=1, a(1)=3, a(2)=5.
From Peter Bala, Jun 29 2015: (Start)
a(n) = Pell(n-1) + Pell(n+1) - (-1)^n.
a(n) = [x^n] ( (1 + 2*x + sqrt(1 + 8*x + 8*x^2))/2 )^n.
