FORMULA
For n > 0: a(n) = A176271(n+1,2). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 13 2010
a(n) = 2*n + a(n-1) (with a(0)=3). - Vincenzo Librandi, Aug 05 2010
From Colin Barker, Dec 29 2014: (Start)
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3).
G.f.: (3*x^2 - 4*x + 3)/(1 - x)^3. (End)
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = Pi*tanh(Pi*sqrt(11)/2)/sqrt(11). - Amiram Eldar, Jan 17 2021
E.g.f.: exp(x)*(3 + 2*x + x^2). - Elmo R. Oliveira, Oct 31 2024
