FORMULA

G.f.: (1+x-3x^2-2x^3)/(1-6x^2+4x^4). a(n)=6a(n-2)-4a(n-4). - Michael Somos, Mar 05 2003

G.f.: (-2*x^3 - 3*x^2 + x + 1)/(4*x^4 - 6*x^2 + 1)

a(n) = (1/20*10^(1/2) + 1/4)*(sqrt(3 + sqrt(5)))^n + (1/20*10^(1/2) + 1/4)*(sqrt(3 - sqrt(5)))^n + ( - 1/20*10^(1/2) + 1/4)*( - (sqrt(3 + sqrt(5))))^n + ( - 1/20*10^(1/2) + 1/4)*( - (sqrt(3 - sqrt(5))))^n [From Richard Choulet (richardchoulet(AT)yahoo.fr), Dec 07 2008]

a(n + 4) = 6*a(n + 2) - 4*a(n) [From Richard Choulet (richardchoulet(AT)yahoo.fr), Dec 06 2008]
