cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A321220 a(n) = n+2 if n is even, otherwise a(n) = 2*n+1 if n is odd.

Formula

a(n) = A043547(n+1) + 1.
From Colin Barker, Oct 31 2018: (Start)
G.f.: (2 + 3*x + x^3) / (1-x^2)^2.
a(n) = 2*a(n-2) - a(n-4) for n > 3.
