COMMENTS

In groups of four, add the odd and even numbers (4=1+3, 6=2+4; 12=5+7, 14=6+8; etc.). - George E. Antoniou, Dec 12 2001
The first 250 terms (4 through 998) are the 250 non-occurring Fibonacci number residues modulo 1000; i.e., if leading zeros are supplied as necessary for the terms having fewer than three digits, these are the 250 sets of three digits that never appear as the last three digits of a Fibonacci number. - Jon E. Schoenfield, Jul 05 2010

FORMULA

a(n) = A042964(n)*2.
a(n) = (4*n - 1 - (-1)^n). - Jon E. Schoenfield, Jul 05 2010
a(n) = 8*n - a(n-1) - 6 (with a(1)=4). - Vincenzo Librandi, Aug 05 2010
G.f. 2*x*(2+x+x^2) / ( (1+x)*(x-1)^2 ). - R. J. Mathar, Oct 08 2011
From Wesley Ivan Hurt, May 18 2013: (Start)
a(n) = (8 * ceiling(n/2) - 4) * (n mod 2) + (8 * ceiling(n/2) - 2) * (n+1 mod 2).
a(n) = 8 * ceiling(n/2) - 3 + (-1)^n. (End)

EXAMPLE
|
a(2) = 8*2 - 4 - 6 = 6;
a(3) = 8*3 - 6 - 6 = 12;
a(4) = 8*4 - 12 - 6 = 14.
