COMMENTS
Generated by reading the table shown in A172002 down the diagonal starting at 1.
The inverse binomial transform yields 1, 3, 3, 0, 2, -4, 8, -16, 32, -64, 128, -256, 512, -1024, ... with a pattern of powers of 2.

FORMULA
G.f.: ( 1 + x - x^3 + x^4 ) / ( (1+x)*(x-1)^4 ).
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-2) - 2*a(n-3) + 3*a(n-4) - a(n-5).
a(n+4) - a(n) = 4*A152948(n+5)) = 4*A089071(n+5).
First differences: a(n+1) - a(n) = A061925(n+2).
Second differences: a(n+2) - 2*a(n+1) + a(n) = n + 5/2 + (-1)^n/2 = 3, 3, 5, 5, 7, 7, 9, 9, ... , duplicated A144396.
