COMMENTS

It appears that if s(n) is a first order rational sequence of the form s(1)=3, s(n)=(2*s(n-1)+1)/(s(n-1)+2), n>1, then s(n)= a(n)/(a(n)-2).

FORMULA

1+2*3^(n-1) for n>0 with a(0) = 2.

G.f.: (2-5*x+x^2)/(-1+3*x)/(-1+x)

Recurrence: {a(1)=3, a(2)=7, a(0)=2, -3*a(n)+a(n+1)+2=0}

MAPLE

spec := [S, {S=Union(Sequence(Prod(Sequence(Z), Union(Z, Z))), Sequence(Z))}, unlabeled]: seq(combstruct[count](spec, size=n), n=0..20);
