Counts walks of length n between two vertices of a triangle, when a loop has been added at the third vertex.
a(n) is the center term of the 3 X 3 matrix [0,1,0; 0,0,1; 1,3,1]^n. - Gary W. Adamson, May 30 2008
Starting (1, 1, 4, 8, 21, ...) = row sums of triangle A157898. - Gary W. Adamson, Mar 08 2009

FORMULA
|
a(n) = (1+sqrt(2))^n/4 + (1-sqrt(2))^n/4 - (-1)^n/2.
a(n) = a(n-1) + 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3). [corrected by Paul Curtz, Mar 04 2008]
a(n) = (Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n, 2*k)*2^k)/2 - (-1)^n/2.
a(n) = A001333(n)/2 - (-1)^n/2.
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k*Pell(n-k). - Paul Barry, Oct 22 2009
G.f.: -x / ( (1+x)*(x^2+2*x-1) ). - R. J. Mathar, Jul 06 2011
a(n) + a(n+1) = A000129(n+1). - R. J. Mathar, Jul 06 2011
