FORMULA
G.f.: (-1+x+x^2)/(-1+3*x+x^2).
Recurrence: {a(0)=1, a(1)=2, a(n)+3*a(n+1)-a(n+2), a(2)=6}.
Sum(-2/13*(3*_alpha-2)*_alpha^(-1-n), _alpha=RootOf(-1+3*_Z+_Z^2)).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A155161(n,k)*2^k. - Philippe Deléham, Feb 08 2012
G.f.: 1/Q(0), where Q(k) = 1 + x^2 - (2*k+1)*x + x*(2*k-1 - x)/Q(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 05 2013
a(n) = A006190(n+1)-A006190(n)-A006190(n-1). - R. J. Mathar, Feb 27 2019
a(n) = 2*A006190(n) for n>=1. - Philippe Deléham, Mar 09 2023
