FORMULA
G.f.: (1-2x)/((1-2x)^2-x^4) = (1-2x)/((1-x)^2(1-2x-x^2));
a(n) = 4a(n-1) - 4a(n-2) + a(n-4);
a(n) = ((sqrt(2)+1)^(n+1) + (sqrt(2)-1)^(n+1)(-1)^n)/(4*sqrt(2)) + (n+1)/2;
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (1-k)*A000129(n-k+1).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} Sum_{j=0..n-k} binomial(k, j)*binomial(n-j, k)*((j+1) mod 2). - Paul Barry, May 31 2005
a(n) = (1/2)*(Pell(n+1) + n + 1), where Pell(n) = A000129(n). - Ralf Stephan, May 15 2007 [corrected by Jon E. Schoenfield, Feb 19 2019]
