FORMULA
For n>=8, a(2n+1) = 2n+1, a(2n) = n. - Ralf Stephan, May 29 2004
From Colin Barker, Nov 06 2019: (Start)
G.f.: x*(1 + x + 7*x^2 + 7*x^3 + 8*x^4 + 32*x^5 + 184*x^6 - 85*x^7 - 416*x^8 + 46*x^9 + 218*x^10) / ((1 - x)^2*(1+x)^2).
a(n) = 2*a(n-2) - a(n-4) for n>=11.
a(n) = (1/4)*(3 - (-1)^n)*(n-1) for n>=8.
(End)
A059815(n) / a(n) = 2 / n, for n >= 8 [from Maley et al.]. - Sean A. Irvine, Oct 11 2022
