FORMULA

G.f.: x*(1+x+2*x^2)/((1-x)^2*(1+x)^2); a(n) = n - 1/4 - (1/2*n - 1/4)*(-1)^n; a(2n-1) = A016777(n-1) = 3(n-1)+1, a(2n) = A000027(n) = n; a(n) = A071045(n-1)+1; a(n) = A093005(n) - A093005(n-1) for n > 1; a(n) = A105638(n+2) - A105638(n+1) for n > 1; a(n) = A092530(n) - A092530(n-1)-1; a(n) = A031878(n+1) - A031878(n)-1. - Klaus Brockhaus, May 12 2007

a(1+2*n)+a(2+2*n) = 2+4*n = A016825(n). Paul Curtz , Mar 09 2011.

a(n)= +2*a(n-2) -a(n-4). Paul Curtz , Mar O9 2011.

Contribution from Jaroslav Krizek, Mar 22 2011 (Start):

a(n) = n + a(n-1) for odd n. a(n) = n - A064455(n-1) for even n.

a(n) = A064455(n) - A137501(n).

Abs(a(n) - A064455(n)) =  A052928(n). (End)

EXAMPLE

The natural numbers begin 1,2,3,...A000027

Seq 3*n + 1 begins 1,4,7,10, ... A016777

so A123684 begins

1,1,4,2,7,3,10,...
