Number of odd parts in all compositions (ordered partitions) of n: a(3)=6 because in 3=2+1=1+2=1+1+1 we have 6 odd parts. Number of even parts in all compositions (ordered partitions) of n+1: a(3)=6 because in 4=3+1=1+3=2+2=2+1+1=1+2+1=1+1+2=1+1+1+1 we have 6 even parts.
Convolved with (1, 2, 2, 2, ...) = A001787: (1, 4, 12, 32, 80, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, May 23 2009
An elephant sequence, see A175654. For the corner squares 36 A[5] vectors, with decimal values between 15 and 480, lead to this sequence. For the central square these vectors lead to the companion sequence 4*A172481, for n>=-1. - Johannes W. Meijer, Aug 15 2010
a(n) is the total number of runs of equal parts in the compositions of n. a(5) = 34 because there are 34 runs of equal parts in the compositions of 5, with parentheses enclosing each run: (5), (4)(1), (1)(4), (3)(2), (2)(3), (3)(1,1), (1)(3)(1), (1,1)(3), (2,2)(1), (2)(1)(2), (1)(2,2), (2)(1,1,1), (1)(2)(1,1), (1,1)(2)(1), (1,1,1)(2), (1,1,1,1,1). - Gregory L. Simay, Apr 28 2017
a(n) - a(n-2) is the number of 1's in all compositions of n and more generally, the number of k's in all compositions of n+k-1. - Gregory L. Simay, May 01 2017

FORMULA
|
a(n) = (3*n+4)*2^n/18 - 2*(-1)^n/9.
G.f.: z*(1-z)/((1+z)*(1-2*z)^2).
a(n) = Sum_{j=0..n} Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n-k, k+j)*2^k. - Paul Barry, Aug 29 2004
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n+1} (-1)^(k+1)*binomial(n+1, k+j)*A001045(k). - Paul Barry, Jan 30 2005
Convolution of "Expansion of (1-x)/(1-x-2*x^2)" (A078008) with "Powers of 2" (A000079), treating the result as if offset=1. - Graeme McRae, Jul 12 2006
Convolution of "Difference sequence of A045623" (A045891) with "Positive integers repeated" (A008619), treating the result as if offset=1. - Graeme McRae, Jul 12 2006
Equals row sums of A128255. (1, 2, 6, 14, 34, ...) - (0, 0, 1, 2, 6, 14, 34, ...) = A045623: (1, 2, 5, 12, 28, 64, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Feb 20 2007

EXAMPLE
|
a(3) = 6 because in the 231-avoiding involutions of {1,2,3}, i.e., in 123, 132, 213, 321, we have altogether 6 fixed points (3+1+1+1).
