Formula

Also a(n) = a(n-1) + 2a(n-2) if n is even, else a(n) = 2a(n-1) + a(n-2).

a(2n+1) = A052984(n). [Index corrected by R. J. Mathar, Apr 01 2009]

a(2n) = A107839(n-1). [R. J. Mathar, Apr 01 2009]

Mathematica

a[0] = 0; a[1] = 1; a[n_] := a[n] = If[ EvenQ[n], a[n - 1] + 2a[n - 2], 2a[n - 1] + a[n - 2]]; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 31}]
