COMMENTS

Conjecture: a(0)=0, a(1)=2, a(2)=6, a(3)=44, a(n)=18a(n-2)-a(n-4)+8 [From Robert Phillips (bobanne(AT)bellsouth.net), Sep 01 2008]

FORMULA

Let b(n) be A007805(n). Then with a(0)=0, a(1)=2, a(2n+2)=2*a(2n+1)-a(2n)+2*b(n), a(2n+3)=2*a(2n+2)-a(2n+1)+2*b(n+1).

a(n) = (A000045(A007310(n+1))-1)/2. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Nov 02 2002. [Corrected by R. J. Mathar, Sep 16 2009]
