Linked to Jacobsthal numbers (expansion of tan(x), a.k.a. Zag numbers) A000182=1,2,16,272,...: a(n+1)-2a(n) = -(-1)^n*(A000182(n) mod 10) = (-1,2,-6,2,-6,2,-6,...).
First differences: 0,3,-2,4,0,8,8,24,... = 0,A154879 (third differences of A001045).

FORMULA
|
a(n) = +2*a(n-1) +a(n-2) -2*a(n-3), n>3.
G.f.: 1-x*(-1-2*x+7*x^2)/((x-1)*(2*x-1)*(1+x)).
a(2n)-a(2n-2) = 3,1,2,4,8,16,... = 3,A000079.
