FORMULA
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + a(n-2) + 1 with n > 1, a(0)=1, a(1)=3.
a(n) = ((2 + (3*sqrt(2))/2)*(1 + sqrt(2))^n - (2 - (3*sqrt(2))/2)*(1 - sqrt(2))^n )/(2*sqrt(2)) - 1/2.
a(0)=1, a(n+1) = ceiling(x*a(n)) for n > 0, where x = 1+sqrt(2). - Paul D. Hanna, Apr 22 2003
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - a(n-2) - a(n-3). With two leading zeros, e.g.f. is exp(x)(cosh(sqrt(2)x)-1)/2. a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor((n+2)/2)} binomial(n+2, 2k+2)2^k. - Paul Barry, Aug 16 2003
-a(-3-n) = A077921(n). - N. J. A. Sloane, Sep 13 2003
E.g.f.: exp(x)(cosh(x/sqrt(2)) + sqrt(2)sinh(x/sqrt(2)))^2. - N. J. A. Sloane, Sep 13 2003
a(n) = floor((1+sqrt(2))^(n+2)/4). - Bruno Berselli, Feb 06 2013
a(n) = (((1-sqrt(2))^(n+2) + (1+sqrt(2))^(n+2) - 2) / 4). - Altug Alkan, Mar 16 2016
2*a(n) = A001333(n+2)-1. - R. J. Mathar, Oct 11 2017
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n+1,k+1)*2^floor(k/2). - Tony Foster III, Oct 12 2017
