FORMULA
From Wesley Ivan Hurt, May 29 2016: (Start)
G.f.: x^2*(2+2*x+3*x^2+x^3) / ((x-1)^2*(1+x+x^2+x^3)).
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-4) - a(n-5) for n>5.
a(n) = (8*n-7+i^(2*n)+i^(-n)+i^n)/4 where i=sqrt(-1).
Sum_{n>=2} (-1)^n/a(n) = (10-sqrt(2))*log(2)/16 + sqrt(2)*log(2+sqrt(2))/8 - sqrt(2)*Pi/16. - Amiram Eldar, Dec 21 2021
