Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 60th year, we have over 367,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

FORMULA
a(n) = (Fibonacci(3*n + 2) - 1)/2 = (A015448(n+1)-1)/2.
G.f.: 2*x/((1 - x)*(1 - 4*x - x^2)).
a(n) = (F(3n + 2) - 1)/2 = 2 * A049652(n).
a(n) = Sum_{0 <= j <= i <= n} binomial(i, j)*F(i + j). - Benoit Cloitre, May 21 2005
a(n) = 4*a(n - 1) + a(n - 2) + 2, n > 1. - Gary Detlefs, Dec 08 2010
a(n) = 5*a(n - 1) - 3*a(n - 2) - a(n - 3), n > 2. - Gary Detlefs, Dec 08 2010
a(n) = (Fibonacci(3*n + 3) + Fibonacci(3*n) - 2)/4. - Gary Detlefs, Dec 08 2010
a(n) = (-10 + (5 - 3*sqrt(5))*(2 - sqrt(5))^n + (2 + sqrt(5))^n*(5 + 3*sqrt(5)))/20. - Colin Barker, Nov 26 2016
