FORMULA

G.f.: x * (2 + 2*x + x^2) / (1 - x^2 - x^3 + x^5) = (2*x + 2*x^2 + x^3) / ((1 - x^2) * (1 - x^3)).

a(n) = - A010761(-n) = 2 - a(1-n). a(n) = A002789(n) - A002789(n-1) for all n in Z.

a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} A000035(k) + A000035(A010872(k)). - Benedict W. J. Irwin, Apr 13 2016

E.g.f.: 5*x*exp(x)/6 - exp(-x)/4 + 7*exp(x)/12 + sin(sqrt(3)*x/2)*exp(-x/2)/(3*sqrt(3)) - cos(sqrt(3)*x/2)*exp(-x/2)/3. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Apr 13 2016

EXAMPLE

G.f. = 2*x + 2*x^2 + 3*x^3 + 4*x^4 + 5*x^5 + 5*x^6 + 7*x^7 + 7*x^8 + ...
