FORMULA
G.f.: (1 -2*x -2*x^2 -x^3)/(1 +x +x^2)^2.
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^(n-k+1)*(n+k+2)*binomial(n+k+1, 2*k). - Paul Barry, Apr 19 2010
a(n) = 2*floor(n/3) + 1 if (n mod 3) = 0, -4*(floor(n/3) + 1) if (n mod 3) = 1 and 2*floor(n/3) + 3 if (n mod 3) = 2. - G. C. Greubel, Jun 16 2021
MATHEMATICA
a[n_]:= a[n]= Sum[(-1)^(n-k+1)*(n+k+2)*Binomial[n+k+1, 2*k], {k, 0, n+1}];
