Table of n, a(n) for n=1..26.

Formula

a(n) = A301483(n+2) - A195350(n+2) + A195339(n-2) (conjectured).

Conjectures from Colin Barker, Apr 28 2018: (Start)

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

a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-3) - a(n-4) for n>4.

(End)

Maple

a := proc(n) option remember;
       if n<1 then 0 else
       if n=1 then 1 else ceil(a(n-1)/(2^(1/3)-1)+1)
     end if end if end proc;
seq(a(n), n=0..10);
