FORMULA
a(n) = ((2*sqrt(5)+3)*(2+sqrt(5))^n + (2*sqrt(5)-3)*(2-sqrt(5))^n)/(2*sqrt(5)).
a(n) = 4*a(n-1) + a(n-2) for n>=2, a(0)=2, a(1)=7. G.f.: (2-x)/(1-4*x-x^2). - Philippe Deléham, Nov 20 2008
G.f.: G(0)*(2-x)/2, where G(k) = 1 + 1/(1 - x*(8*k + 4 +x)/(x*(8*k + 8 +x) + 1/G(k+1) )); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Feb 15 2014
a(-1 - n) = -(-1)^n * A048875(n). - Michael Somos, Feb 23 2014
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 2 + 7*x + 30*x^2 + 127*x^3 + 538*x^4 + 2279*x^5 + 9654*x^6 + 40895*x^7 + ...
