Formula

G.f.: (1-x)/(1 - 2*x - 2*x^3 - x^4).

a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 2*a(n-3) + a(n-4).

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} Sum_{j=0..n-k} C(2*k,n-2*k-j)*C(n-2*k,j)*2^(n-2*k-j).

2*a(n) = A056594(n) + A000129(n+1). - R. J. Mathar, Oct 25 2011

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} hypergeometric2F1([-2*k, -n+2*k], [1], 2). - G. C. Greubel, Nov 20 2021
