%N a(n) is the number of subsets of {1,2,...,n} that contain exactly two odd numbers.
%C 2*a(n-1) for n>1 is the number of subsets of {1,2,...,n} that contain exactly two even numbers. For example, for n=5, 2*a(4)=8 and the 8 subsets are {2,4}, {1,2,4}, {2,3,4}, {2,4,5}, {1,2,3,4}, {1,2,4,5}, {2,3,4,5}, {1,2,3,4,5}. - _Enrique Navarrete_, Dec 20 2019
