Table of n, a(n) for n=1..105.

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (1, -1, 1).

Formula

G.f.: x * (3*x^2+2*x+1) / (1-x+x^2-x^3). [Corrected by Georg Fischer, May 19 2019]

a(n) = a(n-1) - a(n-2) + a(n-3) with a(1)=1, a(2)=3 and a(3)=5.

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