Formula

a(n) = (10*n + 7 + 17*(-1)^n)/4. - Jon E. Schoenfield, Jun 24 2010

G.f.: x^2*(11-6*x)/((1+x)*(1-x)^2). - Vincenzo Librandi, Feb 28 2012

E.g.f.: (1/4)*(17 - 24*exp(x) + (7 + 10*x)*exp(2*x))*exp(-x). - G. C. Greubel, Jul 15 2016

Sum_{n>=2} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 7/6 - log(5)/4 - log(phi)/(2*sqrt(5)) - sqrt(1+2/sqrt(5))*Pi/10, where phi is the golden ratio (A001622). - Amiram Eldar, Feb 23 2023
