COMMENTS
a(n) = A247328(n+1) for 2 <= n < 472, but a(472) = 945 differs from A247328(473) = 947. Furthermore, a(n) = A163985(n+1) for 2 <= n <= 1000. - Georg Fischer, Oct 22 2018

FORMULA
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Jan 22 2016 and Apr 20 2019: (Start)
a(n) = 2*a(n-1)-a(n-2) for n>3.
G.f.: (1-x+4*x^2-2*x^3) / (1-x)^2.
(End)
