FORMULA

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

a(n)=n*sum(k=1..n, sum(j=floor((4*k-n)/3)..floor((4*k-n)/2), binomial(j,n-4*k+3*j)*binomial(k,j))/k). [From Vladimir Kruchinin (kru(AT)ie.tusur.ru), May 25 2011]

MAPLE

A001641:=-(1+2*z+4*z**3)/(z+1)/(z**3-z**2+2*z-1); [Conjectured by S. Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation.]

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<0, 0, polcoeff(x*(1+2*x+4*x^3)/(1-x-x^2-x^4)+x*O(x^n), n))

a(n):=(sum(sum(binomial(j, n-4*k+3*j)*binomial(k, j), j, floor((4*k-n)/3), floor((4*k-n)/2))/k, k, 1, n))*n; [From Vladimir Kruchinin (kru(AT)ie.tusur.ru), May 25 2011]
