FORMULA
a(n) = A098611(n) + 2*(-1)^n.
a(n) = A098609(n)/A098611(n).
a(n) = A098609(n)/(11*A015585(n)).
a(n) = 9*A094028(n+1)/A015585(n).
From Chai Wah Wu, Sep 22 2016: (Start)
a(n) = 9*a(n-1) + 10*a(n-2) for n > 1.
G.f.: (9*x - 2)/((x + 1)*(10*x - 1)). (End)
E.g.f.: exp(-x)*(exp(11*x) + 1). - Elmo R. Oliveira, Aug 17 2024
