FORMULA

a(n+1)-2*a(n) = A001045(n+2), Jacobsthal numbers. - Paul Curtz, Jul 05 2008

3a(n)-a(n+1)= -1, -2, 4*a(n). - Paul Curtz, Jul 05 2008

G.f.: x^2(1+2x)/((1+x)(1-2x)^2). a(n)+a(n+1)=A014480(n-1). [From R. J. Mathar, Nov 11 2008]

a(n) = 4*a(n-1)-4*a(n-2)+(-1)^(n+1), n>2. [From Gary Detlefs, Dec 19 2010]

a(n) = 3*a(n-1)-4*a(n-3), n>3.  [From Gary Detlefs, Dec 19 2010]

a(n) = n*2^n - A045883(n). [Michel Lagneau, Jan 13 2012]
