Index to sequences with linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (2,1,-2).

FORMULA

a(n) = 2*a(n-1) +a(n-2) -2*a(n-3), n>2.

a(n)=a(n-1)+2*a(n-2)+2, a(0)=1, a(1)=2.

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

E.g.f.: 5*exp(2*x)/3-exp(x)+exp(-x)/3.

a(n+1) = A000975(n+2)+A000975(n).

a(2*n+1)-2 = 10*A000975(n); a(2*n+2)-6 = 20*A000975(n).

a(n+2*k) -a(n) = 5*A002450(k)*2^n = A146882(k-1)*2^n, k=0,1,2,... - Paul Curtz, Jun 15 2011
