COMMENTS
The sequence was initially defined as the first column of the triangle A093915, constructed by trial and error. It is however easy to prove that the sum of the r-th row of A093915, A093917(r), equals twice A006003(r) when r is odd, and three times A006003(r) when r is even. Given the expression of the row sum A093917(r) in terms of the first element a(r), one obtains the explicit formula for a(r). - M. F. Hasler, Apr 04 2009

FORMULA
a(n) = ((n^2+1)*b(n) - n + 1)/2 where b(n) = 3 - (n mod 2) = 2 if n odd, = 3 if n even. - M. F. Hasler, Apr 04 2009
From Colin Barker, May 01 2012: (Start)
a(n) = (n*(5*n-2) + (n^2+1)*(-1)^n + 7)/4.
a(n) = 3*a(n-2) - 3*a(n-4) + a(n-6).
G.f.: x*(2+7*x+3*x^2+3*x^3+3*x^4+2*x^5)/((1-x)^3*(1+x)^3). (End)
E.g.f.: (1/4)*( (7 +3*x +5*x^2)*exp(x) - 8 + (1 -x +x^2)*exp(-x) ). - G. C. Greubel, Dec 30 2021
