FORMULA

a_n = a_{n-1} + 4a_{n-2} - 3a_{n-3} - 3a_{n-4}.

a_0 = 1; for n>0 odd, a_n = 7 * 3^floor{n/2} - F_{n+4}; for n>0 even, a_n = 4 * 3^floor{n/2} - F_{n+4} where F_n is the n-th Fibonacci number. - Barry Guiduli (guiduli(AT)gmail.com), Jun 23 2005

G.f. (1+x-2x^2-x^3+x^4) / ((1-x-x^2)(1-3x^2)). - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), Jul 22 2008
