Formula

From R. J. Mathar, Sep 24 2011: (Start)

a(n) = a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) - 2*a(n-3) - a(n-4) + a(n-5).

a(n) = A008805(n-1) + A008805(n-3) + 8*A008805(n-2). (End)

From Bruno Berselli, Sep 26 2011: (Start)

G.f.: x*(1+8*x+x^2)/((1+x)^2*(1-x)^3).

a(n) = (10*n*(n+1) + 3*(2*n+1)*(-1)^n - 3)/8.

a(n) = a(-n-1). (End)

Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = (5 + 4*sqrt(1 + 2/sqrt(5))*Pi)/16. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 05 2016

E.g.f.: (3*(1 - 2*x)*exp(-x) + (-3 +20*x +10*x^2)*exp(x))/8. - G. C. Greubel, Jul 04 2019

Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 5*log(5)/8 + sqrt(5)*log(phi)/4 - 5/16, where phi is the golden ratio (A001622). - Amiram Eldar, Feb 28 2022
