COMMENTS

General form: a(n)=2^n-a(n-1). Cf. A001045, A078008, A097073 [From Vladimir Orlovsky, Dec 11 2008]

For n>=1, a(n) is a(n) is the number of generalized compositions of n +3 when there are i^2-2*i-1 different types of i, (i=1,2,...). [From Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Sep 24 2010]

FORMULA

a(n) = (2^(n+1)-8*(-1)^n)/3, n>0.

a(n) = a(n-1)+2*a(n-2), n>2.

G.f.: 2+4*x*(1-x)/((1+x)*(1-2*x)).

MATHEMATICA

g0[n_] = 2 - Sum[(-1)^(i + 1)/Sqrt[2]^(2*i), {i, 0, n}] f[x_] = ZTransform[g0[n], n, x] g[n_] = InverseZTransform[f[1/x], x, n] a0 = Table[Abs[g[n]], {n, 1, 25}]
