Or, g.f. = (1+x)/((1-x)*(1-2*x)).
A signed version of A078008, which is the main entry.
[1, 0, 2, -2, 6, -10, 22, -42, 86, ...] = an operator for toothpick sequences. The sequence convolved with A151548 = toothpick sequence A139250. The sequence convolved with A151555 = toothpick sequence A153006. - Gary W. Adamson, May 25 2009

FORMULA
From R. J. Mathar, Jul 08 2009: (Start)
a(n) = (2 + (-2)^n)/3 = (-1)^n*A078008(n), n>=0.
a(n) = 2*A077925(n-2), n>1. (End)
a(n) = A084247(n+1)/2. - Philippe Deléham, Sep 21 2009
G.f.: 1 + x - x*Q(0), where Q(k) = 1 + 2*x^2 - (2*k+3)*x + x*(2*k+1 - 2*x)/Q(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 05 2013
