COMMENTS

Quasipolynomial of order 2. [Charles R Greathouse IV, Dec 07 2011]

LINKS

Index to sequences with linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (1,2,-2,-1,1).

FORMULA

C(n, 2) if n odd, C(n, 2)-n/2+1 if n even; G.f.: x^2*(1+2*x+x^3)/((1-x)*(1-x^2)).

a(n)= ( n*n +n -(n-1)*(n mod 2) )/2. [Frank Ellermann (hmdmhdfmhdjmzdtjmzdtzktdkztdjz(AT)gmail.com)]

EXAMPLE

E.g. for n=4 [1:2][2:3][3:1][1:4][4:2], so a(4) = 5.

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=if(n%2, n^2-n, n^2-2*n+2)/2  \\ Charles R Greathouse IV, Dec 07 2011
