a(n) = P(n) - (1+(-1)^n)/2, where P(n) is the Pell sequence (A000129) with initial conditions 2, 2.
For n>0 a(n) is the maximum element in the continued fraction for P(n)*sqrt(2) where P=A000129 - Benoit Cloitre, Jun 19 2005

FORMULA

G.f.: g(t) = (1-t^2+2*t^3)/(1-2*t-2*t^2+2*t^3+t^4).
Comments from Hieronymus Fischer, Jan 02 2009 (Start): The fractional part of (1+sqrt(2))^n equals (1+sqrt(2))^(-n), if n odd. For even n, the fractional part of (1+sqrt(2))^n is equal to 1-(1+sqrt(2))^(-n).
fract((1+sqrt(2))^n)) = (1/2)*(1+(-1)^n)-(-1)^n*(1+sqrt(2))^(-n) = (1/2)*(1+(-1)^n)-(1-sqrt(2))^n.
See A001622 for a general formula concerning the fractional parts of powers of numbers x>1, which satisfy x-x^(-1)=floor(x).
a(n) = (sqrt(2)+1)^n - (1/2) + (-1)^n*((sqrt(2)-1)^n - (1/2)) for n>0. (End)
