FORMULA

G.f.: x(1+2x-10x^2+2x^3+x^4)/((1-x)*(1-4x+x^2))^2.

a(n)=10a(n-1)-35a(n-2)+52a(n-3)-35a(n-4)+10a(n-5)-a(n-6), n>5.

a(n)=(n/2)*A129743(n) [From Woong Kook and Seung Kyoon Shin (andrewk(AT)math.uri.edu), Jan 13 2009]

a(n) = 1/2*(-2 + (2 - sqrt(3))^n + (2 + Sqrt(3))^n)*n [From Eric Weisstein, Jul 15 2011]

MAPLE

A006235:=(1+2*z-10*z**2+2*z**3+z**4)/(z-1)**2/(z**2-4*z+1)**2; [Conjectured by S. Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation.]
