FORMULA
G.f.: x^2*(4+2*x+x^2+x^3) / ( (1+x)*(x^2+1)*(x-1)^2 ). - R. J. Mathar, Nov 06 2015
From Wesley Ivan Hurt, May 27 2016: (Start)
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-4) - a(n-5) for n>5.
a(n) = (8*n-3+i^(2*n)-(1+2*i)*i^(-n)-(1-2*i)*i^n)/4 where i=sqrt(-1).
E.g.f.: (2 - 2*sin(x) - cos(x) + (4*x - 2)*sinh(x) + (4*x - 1)*cosh(x))/2. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, May 27 2016
Sum_{n>=2} (-1)^n/a(n) = (6-sqrt(2))*log(2)/16 + sqrt(2)*log(2+sqrt(2))/8 - sqrt(2)*Pi/16. - Amiram Eldar, Dec 23 2021
a(n) = -A003485(-n) = a(n+4) - 8 for all n in Z. - Michael Somos, Dec 12 2023
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 4*x^2 + 6*x^3 + 7*x^4 + 8*x^5 + 12*x^6 + 14*x^7 + 15*x^8 + 16*x^9 + ... - Michael Somos, Dec 12 2023
