From Petros Hadjicostas, Jan 12 2019: (Start)

In Cyvin et al. (1992), sequence (N(m): m >= 1) = (A002212(m): m >= 1) is defined by eq. (1), p. 533. (We may let N(0) := A002212(0) = 1.)

Sequence (M(m): m >= 1) is defined by eq. (13), p. 534. We have M(2*m) = M(2*m-1) = A007317(m) for m >= 1.

Sequences (N(m): m >= 1) and (M(m): m >= 1) appear in Table 1, p. 533.

The current sequence is denoted by 1^Q_(4+n) (with n = 1,2,3,...). Thus, a(n+4) = 1^Q_(4+n) for n >= 1; i.e., a(m) = 1^Q_{m} for m >= 5. We have 1^Q_(4+n) = (1/2)*(3*N(n) + M(n)) for n >= 1. See eq. (33), p. 536.

Sequence (1^Q_(4+n): n >= 1) appears in Table II, p. 537.

We may use the many formulae in the documentations of sequences A002212 and A007317 in order to create complicated formulae and recurrence relations for (a(n): n >= 5). We omit the details.

The first g.f. below is a combination of the g.f. for sequence A002212 by John W. Layman in 2001 and the g.f. for sequence A007317 by Ira M. Gessel and Jang Soo Kim in 2010.

The second g.f. appears in eq. (A1), p. 1180, in Cyvin et al. (1994). It is algebraically equivalent to the first g.f.

(Apparently, the word "annealated" in Cyvin et al. (1992) is spelled "annelated" in Cyvin et al. (1994).)

Formula

From Petros Hadjicostas, Jan 12 2019: (Start)

For n >= 1, a(n+4) = (1/2)*(3*A002212(n) + A007317(floor((n+1)/2))).

G.f.: (x^3/4)*(4 - 8*x - 3*sqrt(1 - 6*x + 5*x^2) - (x + 1)*sqrt((1 - 5*x^2)/(1 - x^2))).

G.f.: x^3*(1 - 2*x) - (x^3/4)*(3*(1 - x)^(1/2)*(1 - 5*x)^(1/2) + (1 - x)^(-1)*(1 - x^2)^(1/2)*(1 - 5*x^2)^(1/2)) (see eq. (A1), p. 1180, in Cyvin et al. (1994)).
