FORMULA
From R. J. Mathar, Feb 05 2008: (Start)
G.f.: (3+9*x+4*x^2)/((1-x)^2*(x+1)).
a(n) - a(n-1) = A010729(n).
(End)
From Colin Barker, Nov 29 2016: (Start)
a(n) = 8*n - 4 for n even.
a(n) = 8*n - 5 for n odd.
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) - a(n-3) for n>3.
(End)
E.g.f.: 4 + ((16*x - 9)*exp(x) + exp(-x))/2. - David Lovler, Aug 21 2022
