FORMULA

3a(n)=2^(n+1) + periodic {1 -1 -2 -1 1 2}.

Also first differences of A024494.

G.f.: (1-2x+2x^2)/(1-3x+3x^2-2x^3).

Binomial transform of [1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0,...]; i.e. ones in positions 2, 5, 8, 11,... and the rest zeros. [Corrected by Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Jan 07 2008.]

a(n)=(1/6)*{1/2-(1/2)*I*sqrt(3)}^n+(1/6)*{1/2+(1/2)*I*sqrt(3)}^n+(2/3)*2^n-(1/6)*I*{1/2-(1 /2)*I*sqrt(3)}^n*sqrt(3)+(1/6)*I*{1/2+(1/2)*I*sqrt(3)}^n*sqrt(3), with n>=0 and I=sqrt(-1) - Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Jun 09 2008
