FORMULA

a(n) = 2^(1/4*(2*n-1+(-1)^n)).

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

a(n) = A131572(n). a(n)=A060546(n-1), n>1. [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Aug 06 2009]

a(n+3) = a(n+2)*a(n+1)/a(n). [Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 04 2011]

a(n) = |A009116(n-1)| + |A009545(n-1)|   - Bruno Berselli, May 30 2011

EXAMPLE
