Formula

Let b(1)=1, b(2)=2, b(3)=4 and b(n)=(b(n-1)*b(n-2)+(3+(-1)^n)/2)/b(n-3) then b(n)=abs(a(n)) - Benoit Cloitre, Mar 03 2007

a(n) = -5*a(n-2)-a(n-4), n>3. [Harvey P. Dale, Apr 15 2012]

G.f.: ( 1+2*x+x^2+x^3 ) / ( 1+5*x^2+x^4 ). - R. J. Mathar, Jun 18 2014

a(n) = -3a(n-1)+2a(n-2) if n even. a(n) = (5*a(n-1)+a(n-2))/2 if n odd. - R. J. Mathar, Jun 18 2014
