COMMENTS

The inverse binomial transform is 1, 1, 4, -2, 10, -14, 34, -62 which leads to (-1)^(n+1)*A135440(n).

FORMULA

a(2*n) = 2*A083420(n-1) and a(2*n+1) = A083420(n)

a(n+1) - a(n) = A014551(n); Jacobsthal-Lucas numbers.

a(2*n) + a(2*n+1) = 9*A002450(n)

a(n+1) - 2*a(n) = A010674(n+1); repeat 3, 0.

a(n) + A000034(n+1) = A000079(n); powers of 2.

a(n)= a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) + 3 [From Gary Detlefs (gdetlefs(AT)aol.com), Jun 22 2010]

a(n+1) = A000069(2^n); odious numbers [Johannes W. Meijer, Jun 24 2011]

MAPLE

A140253:=proc(n): if type(n, odd) then 2*4^(((n+1)/2)-1)-1 else 2*(2*4^((n/2)-1)-1) fi: end: seq(A140253(n), n=0..29); [Johannes W. Meijer, Jun 24 2011]
