Formula

G.f. -x*(-1-12*x+6*x^2) / ( (1+x)*(x-1)^2 ). - R. J. Mathar, Mar 08 2011

a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) - a(n-3), a(1)=1, a(2)=13, a(3)=8. - Harvey P. Dale, Jun 07 2012

E.g.f.: (1/4)*(17*exp(-x) + 7*(1 + 2*x)*exp(x) - 24). - G. C. Greubel, May 16 2016

Example

For n=2, a(2)=7*2-1=13; n=3, a(3)=7*3-13=8; n=4, a(4)=28-8=20.
