FORMULA
G.f.: 1/((1-x)^2*(1-x+x^2)).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (k+1)*2*sin(Pi(n-k)/3 + Pi/3)/sqrt(3). - Paul Barry, May 18 2004
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n-2k, n-k-1). - Paul Barry, Jan 15 2005
a(n) = n + 2 + (-1 + n - 3*floor(n/3))*(-1)^floor(n/3). - Tani Akinari, Jun 27 2013
a(n) = n + 1 + a(n-1) - a(n-2), with a(-1) = a(-2) = 0. - Richard R. Forberg, Jul 11 2013
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 4*a(n-2) + 3*a(n-3) - 1*a(n-4). - Joerg Arndt, Jul 12 2013
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k*(n+1-k)*b(k), where b(n) = A049347(n). - Mircea Merca, Feb 04 2014
E.g.f.: exp(x)*(2 + x) + exp(x/2)*(sqrt(3)*sin(sqrt(3)*x/2) - 3*cos(sqrt(3)*x/2))/3. - Stefano Spezia, Feb 11 2023
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = log(2)/3 + log(3)/2 = log(108)/6. - Amiram Eldar, Feb 14 2023
