FORMULA

The linear recurrence operator annihilating this sequence is (N is the shift operator Na(n):=a(n + 1)) is - 3*(43*n + 197)*(n - 2)*(n + 1)/( - 1222 + 753*n + 349*n^2) - 5*(n - 1)*(44*n^2 + 477*n + 1222)/( - 1222 + 753*n + 349*n^2)*N + 2*(n + 1)*(239*n^2 + 873*n - 1232)/( - 1222 + 753*n + 349*n^2)*N^2 + 4*(394 - 259*n + 215*n^2 + 55*n^3)/( - 1222 + 753*n + 349*n^2)*N^3 - ( - 7342 + 3699*n + 2718*n^2 + 349*n^3)/( - 1222 + 753*n + 349*n^2)*N^4 + N^5. - Doron Zeilberger (zeilberg(AT)math.rutgers.edu), Nov 14 2007

a(n) = Sum((-1)^(n-k)*k!*A102413(n,k),k=1..n), n>2. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Nov 23 2007

a(n) = b(n+1) - 2*Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} b(n-2*k) for n>1, where b(n)=A002464(n) if n>0 else b(0)=0. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Nov 24 2007
