A022030 For even n, a(n+2) is the greatest integer such that a(n+2)/a(n+1) < a(n+1)/a(n); for odd n, the least integer such that a(n+2)/a(n+1) > a(n+1)/a(n); a(0) = 4, a(1) = 16.

Original definition: a(n+2) is the greatest integer such that a(n+2)/a(n+1) < a(n+1)/a(n).
This original definition would lead to sequence 4, 16, 63, 248, 976, 3841, ... which agrees to over 2000 terms with the conjectured g.f. = (4 - x^2)/(1 - 4*x + x^3). - M. F. Hasler, Feb 11 2016

Formula

Conjecture: a(n) = 4*a(n-1)-a(n-3)+a(n-4). G.f. = (4-x^2+x^3)/(1-4*x+x^3-x^4). - Colin Barker, Feb 16 2012
a(n) = ceiling(a(n-1)^2/a(n-2))-1 for even n > 0, a(n) = floor(a(n-1)^2/a(n-2))+1 for even n > 0. - M. F. Hasler, Feb 11 2016
