COMMENTS
Apart from initial term(s), dimension of the space of weight 2n cuspidal newforms for Gamma_0( 72 ).
Cf. property described by Gary Detlefs in A113801: more generally, these numbers are of the form (2*h*n+(h-4)*(-1)^n-h)/4 (h, n natural numbers), therefore (2*h*n + (h-4)*(-1)^n - h)/4)^2 - 1 == 0 (mod h); in our case, a(n)^2 - 1 == 0 (mod 5). - Bruno Berselli, Nov 17 2010
The sum of the alternating series (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) from n=1 to infinity is (Pi/5)*cot(Pi/5), that is (1/5)*sqrt(1 + 2/sqrt(5))*Pi. - Jean-François Alcover, May 03 2013
These numbers appear in the product of a Rogers-Ramanujan identity. See A003114 also for references. - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 29 2016
Let m be a product of any number of terms of this sequence. Then m - 1 or m + 1 is divisible by 5. Closed under multiplication. - David A. Corneth, May 11 2018

FORMULA
G.f.: (1+3x+x^2)/((1-x)(1-x^2)).
a(n) = floor((5n-2)/2). [corrected by Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 19 2013]
a(1) = 1, a(n) = 5(n-1) - a(n-1). - Benoit Cloitre, Apr 12 2003
From Bruno Berselli, Nov 17 2010: (Start)
a(n) = (10*n + (-1)^n - 5)/4.
a(n) - a(n-1) - a(n-2) + a(n-3) = 0 for n > 3.
a(n) = a(n-2) + 5 for n > 2.
a(n) = 5*A000217(n-1) + 1 - 2*Sum_{i=1..n-1} a(i) for n > 1.
a(n)^2 = 5*A036666(n) + 1 (cf. also Comments). (End)
a(n) = 5*floor(n/2) + (-1)^(n+1). - Gary Detlefs, Dec 29 2011
E.g.f.: 1 + ((10*x - 5)*exp(x) + exp(-x))/4. - David Lovler, Aug 23 2022
