COMMENTS
This could be called the inverse Motzkin transform of A109188 since the substitution x -> x/(1+x+x^2) in the independent variable of the g.f. A109188(x) yields this sequence here.

FORMULA
a(2*n) = A000290(n), a(2*n+1) = A001844(n).
O.g.f.: x*(1+x+x^2)*(1+x^2)/((1-x)^3*(1+x)^3).
a(n) = 3*a(n-2) - 3*a(n-4) + a(n-6), n>5.
Euler transform of length 4 sequence [ 1, 4, -1, -1]. - Michael Somos, Aug 07 2014
a(2n+1) = a(2n) + a(2n+2) for all n in Z. - Michael Somos, Aug 07 2014
A120328(n-1) = 3*n^2 + 2 = a(2*n + 1) - a(2*n)+ a(2*n - 1) for all n in Z. - Michael Somos, Aug 07 2014
a(n) = n^2*(1+(-1)^n)/8+(n^2+1)*(1-(-1)^n)/4. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Sep 06 2015
EXAMPLE
G.f. = x + x^2 + 5*x^3 + 4*x^4 + 13*x^5 + 9*x^6 + 25*x^7 + 16*x^8 + 41*x^9 + ...
