FORMULA

Contribution by Paul Barry, Apr 28 2004:  (Start)

  Binomial transform is (A000244(n)+A001333(n))/2.

  G.f.: x*(1-x)/((1-2*x)*(1-2*x^2)).

  a(n) = 2*a(n-1)+2*a(n-2)-4*a(n-3).

  a(n) = 2^n/2-2^(n/2)*(1+(-1)^n)/4.  (End)

MAPLE

f := n-> if n mod 2 = 0 then 2^(n-1)-2^((n-2)/2) else 2^(n-1); fi;

PROG

(MAGMA) [Floor(2^n/2-2^(n/2)*(1+(-1)^n)/4): n in [0..40]]; // Vincenzo Librandi, Aug 20 2011
