COMMENTS

This is also the Engel expansion for 3*exp(1/2)/2 - 1/2. - Gerald McGarvey, Aug 07 2004
First differences are A120691. - Paul Barry, Jun 27 2006
Sorted with duplicate terms dropped, this is A004277, 1 together with the positive even numbers. - Alonso del Arte, Jan 27 2012

FORMULA

From Paul Barry, Jun 27 2006: (Start)
G.f.: (2 + x + 2*x^2 - 3*x^3 - x^4 + x^6)/(1 - 2*x^3 + x^6);
a(n) = 0^n + Sum{k=0..n} 2*sin(2*Pi*(k-1)/3)*floor((2*k-1)/3)/sqrt(3) [with offset 0]. [Corrected and simplified by Jianing Song, Jan 05 2019] (End)
a(n) = 2*a(n-3) - a(n-6), n >= 8. - Philippe Deléham, Feb 10 2009
G.f.: 1 + U(0) where U(k)= 1 + x/(1 - x*(2*k + 1)/(1 + x*(2*k + 1) - 1/((2*k + 1) + 1 - (2*k + 1)*x/(x + 1/U(k+1))))); (continued fraction, 5-step). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 07 2012
a(3*n) = 2*n, a(1) = 2, a(n) = 1 otherwise (i.e., for n > 1, not a multiple of 3). - M. F. Hasler, May 01 2013
E.g.f.: (2/9)*exp(x)*(x + 3) + (2/9)*exp(-x/2)*(2*x*cos((sqrt(3)/2)*x+2*Pi/3) - 3*cos((sqrt(3)/2)*x)) + x. - Jianing Song, Jan 05 2019
