%F G.f.: x*(x^2-x-3) / (x^2+x-1). - Maksym Voznyy (voznyy(AT)mail.ru), Aug 11 2009; checked and corrected by _R. J. Mathar_, Sep 16 2009

%F From _Colin Barker_, Jan 29 2017: (Start)

%F a(n) = (2^(-n)*(-(1-sqrt(5))^(1+n) + (1+sqrt(5))^(1+n))) / sqrt(5) for n>1.

%F a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) for n>3. (End)

%F E.g.f.: 2*exp(x/2)*(5*cosh(sqrt(5)*x/2) + sqrt(5)*sinh(sqrt(5)*x/2))/5 - 2 + x. - _Stefano Spezia_, Apr 18 2022
