Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (4,-2,-4,-1).

Formula

G.f.: (1-2*x+x^2+2*x^3)/(1-2*x-x^2)^2.

a(n) = A000129(n+1) + (n-1)*A000129(n), where A000129 are the Pell numbers. [Corrected by Paolo Xausa, Feb 08 2024]

Example

A088210(3)/a(3) = [2;2,2,4] = 53/22.
