FORMULA
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + a(n-3).
a(n) = w1^n + w2^n + w3^n where w1,w2,w3 are the three roots of x^3-2x^2-1=0.
For n>2, a(n) = round(w1^n) for w1 the single real root of x^3-2x^2-1=0.
G.f.: (3 - 4*x) / (1 - 2*x - x^3). - Colin Barker, Feb 18 2020
a(n) = A008998(n) + 2*A008998(n-3) = 3*A008998(n) - 4*A008998(n-1).
a(n) = (5*b(n) - b(n-1) - b(n-2))/2 where b(n) = A052980(n). - Greg Dresden, Mar 10 2020
a(n) = A080204(n) + 1. - Greg Dresden, May 27 2020
