LINKS

Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000

FORMULA

a(n) = 2^n+(-1)^n/4-(2*n+1)/4.

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

a(n) = A084172(n)-A001045(n).

a(n) = floor(2^n-n(n+1)/2). - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 29 2007

G.f.: (1-2*x+x^2+x^3)/(1-3*x+x^2+3*x^3-2*x^4). [Colin Barker, Jan 16 2012]
