FORMULA
a(n+1) = Sum_{k>=0} A030308(n,k)*b(k) with b(0)=1, b(1)=5 and b(k)=2^(k+1) for k>1. - Philippe Deléham, Oct 19 2011
G.f.: x^2*(1+4*x+x^2+2*x^3) / ( (1+x)*(x^2+1)*(x-1)^2 ). - R. J. Mathar, Dec 07 2011
a(n) = Sum_{i=1..n} gcd(i+2, i-2). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jan 23 2014
From Wesley Ivan Hurt, May 22 2016: (Start)
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-4) - a(n-5) for n>5.
a(n) = 2n+(1+i)*(4i-4-(1-i)*i^(2n)-i^(1-n)+i^n)/4 where i=sqrt(-1).
Sum_{n>=2} (-1)^n/a(n) = (2*sqrt(2)-1)*Pi/16 + (3-sqrt(2))*log(2)/8 + sqrt(2)*log(2+sqrt(2))/4. - Amiram Eldar, Dec 20 2021
